i will do that. I had pretty good maters last year, but ANYTHING i can do to help them out, I am all for.

Water directly as is into the garden? Daily or weekly? or...? My idea was to create what we call a "leach field" back home...under my vegetable patch. does that sound appropriate for this? Or is it simple enough to just pump the waste into watering cans or such? I can probably give away duck...

sounds like a good idea. You'll let us know how they do at the Farmers Market? I bought new tubers this season because, sigh, someone "helped" me weed. We have a wild multiheaded sunflower that looks a lot like a sunchoke, and before I could stop them, they had pulled up all the weeds and had...

i have never even heard of it before. But I'm game. I'll give it a go in a container too. I wonder if chickens would like it...

oooooh, countrysidemag has a link to the backyard poultry mag i get too. I need to look into that one. It looks like somehting I'd be interested in! Thanks everyone1!!

anyone get any that they reccommend. I get a few, but am always on the look out for another. I love getting magazines and learning new ideas, reading new stuff...seeing how other people do things etc. I get: Hobby Farms Mother Earth News Grit Backyard poultry Urban Farms (or will the minute...

I got one of these, and made a top for it....out of chicken wire and hardware cloth. If It is going to be super sunny out I put a folded tarp over part of the top, that way the can get into the shade if they want. I can have one or two chickens in it at a time...or six if I want the area tilled...

the kids broken down wagon... the kids unused sandbox. they planted tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and somehting else, i forget what in there.

that's a cute idea!! good job on the corn, it looks great and is a benefit too as it's edible! woo hoo!

cool, i orederd some, lets see wht happens.

what about grapes? OR some sort of gourd, nest egg gourds would be really appropraite, dont'cha think? Nasturtuims are hardy, fast growing and edible...maybe not a vine, but it's kind of a good spreading plant...

zilla!! Howdy. I got mine from parks, I shoulda checked dollar general or someplace first, but it was an impulse buy while stuck inside during a rainstorm, sigh I am definitely gonna give a try at a fall planting of beets thanks for the pic !! IT's all the encouragement i needed...yum!!

i am so glad to hear you are on the mend. Hope you are back to 100% really fast.

yay!! I am so glad to hear they do well here! I ordered a variety from park seed and they arrived. I will have to see if i have time this year or to hold on to them till spring

starting my seeds too early...i was overrun in my office with plants that i swear were telling me "Feed me Seamore!" But by the time it came to plant they were too spindly and weak. I had to start new seeds all over again.
