Hey, I had an open area in my garden this year :hide and I was thinking about sticking some alfalfa there for a cover crop, but I wasn't sure how exactly to go about it. Do you have any advice?

They are flourescent bulbs.

We have tried four 120 watt cfl bulbs with our plants and they are spindly. We use regular lamps with our Jiffy trays. We currently only have two trays. Do we need them to be closer? Or do we need other bulbs? Or do we need more lights? Or is it something totally different? P.S. I have no clue...

I planted strawberrys this year and I was wondering how to prune them best for root production. Thanks.

My seed potatoes are 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 inches and have a TON of eyes. Should I cut them smaller which if I went by number of eyes they would be 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 cm in size! So what do I do? Thanks

What are you talking about?

Could it have been a lawnmower?

We went to pick up supplies for sealing our boards and someone suggested that if we used chemicals to seal the boards wouldn't they just leach into the beds? We had planned on using sealant but should we use that or stain or polyurethane? Thanks

Unless you are in the southern hemisvere shouldn't that be the north-west corner? As the sun rises in the East and in the northern hemisvere the sun comes from a southern angle. JMHO

That sounds genius!

Llama Manure is also very good

Thank you both! We are planning on getting chickens at some point in the near future (this year or next) and we curently have (you geussed it) Llama's (whose manure is jelly bean shaped ie, Llama beans) We won't use pesticides unless we have a problem or my SO does it without my knowledge.
