Hi all, I’m really happy to join TheEasyGarden community. I’ve been learning more about lawn care and gardening recently, especially how to maintain healthy grass in warmer climates. I’m not a professional gardener yet, but I enjoy researching and understanding what actually works in real-life...

The ones in the mountains wild in Idaho are blue. We picked some one year and I dehydrated them and sent some to Kansas to a friend.

In Western Wa. State thr Red ones grow wild. Their berries are toxic when raw and they must be cooked prior to eating. https://www.uwb.edu/wetlands/plants/sambucus-racemosa#:~:text=In%20Washington%20state%2C%20the%20red,flowers%20blooming%20from%20its%20stems...

I tried digging down as far as I could, but because of the Hemlock's roots, I couldn't get very far or wide. I think a couple of the apple tree's roots broke while I was trying to get it out. I hope that it'll be ok. I now got it in a five-gallon bucket with holes and very rich soil. I got a...

So, a few years back, I ate an apple and thought that it tasted good, so I decided to plant its seeds. I put those in a flower pot, and as the tree grew, I kept changing its pot and was also using the Back to Eden method a little, too. A couple years ago for whatever reason, the tree died. I...

Check out the back to eden method on you tube.

Hello I'm originally from Battle Creek, MI, now live in Oklahoma. I have a small vegetable garden but next year I'm gonna try the Back to Eden method and have a bigger garden. It will save on watering and weeding here when it stays 90+ all summer and humid as can be.

Next year I'm gonna try the Back to eden method of gardening, it looks amazing and so simple. Makes so much sense

I am new to this forum. I have been gardening for years, but once we purchased 30 acres in East Texas my gardens took on a whole new life. I have 3 large gardens which keep me very busy. I use the Back to Eden gardening style, or layer style and have seen amazing success with it. We also raise...

sounds like a good movie to watch, I'll just finish everything today for me to freely sit down and focus to watch a good movie. thanks for the recommendation.

I have a friend who raises horses and gets hay from multiple sources...and being horse hay instead of feed for animals meant for food, she doesn't worry much about it being sprayed, but more about the price and how well the horses eat it. I have gotten composted manure from her for my gardens...

We start by selecting the plot of ground. My avatar that I put up today is exactly that. I'll also put it here because the avatar is so tiny. Doesn't look like much of a "garden" does it? I'm in the piedmont of SC, living on the side of a hill. I gain (or lose) about 30 ft of elevation from...

That could have happened to ANY of us. I've taken so many chances on what I've hauled in here and put on my soils!!! The manure, the wood chips, the hay....all had that same potential to poison. Just the grace of God has prevented me from messing things up! Now I'm doing hay instead of...

Your garden plan sounds wonderful, Bee! I love flowers interplanted with all my vegetables, and have been debating planting strawberries around my asparagus for years. I tried the back to eden gardening in my front yard vegetable garden and managed to poison my soil when I brought in a load of...

What's growing in the garden? Asparagus is for sure! This big boy popped up last weekend right before our 20* cold snap. I ate him raw. I've got 3-4 more pushing up in the garden this week. They have a nice, nutty flavor. Nothing like the green ones from the store. I've never had a home grown...

That's because most of the advice comes from people who believe in tillage, poisoning their food and using commercial fertilizers all the time. You won't find much advice like that coming from the more organic crowd....when using mulch of any kind, it's impossible to "clear away all debris"...

I have a couple concerns about the use of hay/straw in the garden. Way back, I was told that you should use straw rather than hay due to the amount of seeds left in the hay. This may only be a factor if the hay is not very thick? The point that the hay is finer and decomposes faster is a plus...

We have amazing neighbors, all of them are that helpful and generous. No BTE there. We took down a bunch of pens and opened that area up. Without animals on it the weeds moved right in. I'm hoping to quell a little of the weed spread. That's my version of dry creek bed. It separates the lawn...

@thistlebloom you have some nice neighbors, that saved a lot of hours of labor. Are you doing back to eden garden.?

Hi all... I'm in the high desert of California (northern LA county) and once I dig below about 6-8" of what I assume the home builder put in place 30+ years ago, I hit really hard "soil" -- I use that term loosely. I think its probably clay primarily. Eventually this area where I'm digging...
