    Do I thin out Cilantro?

    Thanks for all of the responses :D I think I will thin it out in my salsa & maybe a little, I'll let go to seed...I'll just feed it to my chickens if it becomes too out of control, I didn't realize it was so invasive :hu...thanks again!

    Do I thin out Cilantro?

    My cilantro is doing great in my herb garden, but I'm not sure if I need to thin it out like I do my basil? Or do I leave it full...This is my first year growing cilantro and I'm not sure if I'm doing things correctly. Thanks for any advice! :happy_flower

    What type of trellis for cucumbers?

    I planted my cucumbers near the fence line, in hopes that they would grow up it. Some of them are, but I want something else for the other-side that now houses other plants and they are starting to wrap around. What do you use? A stick or something shaped like an "A"? I'm just not sure...

    Should I feed the chicken or throw to the compost pile?

    From the various things I have read on this board & BYC, I have learned that bunny poo can be used directly in a garden. Chicken poo is much too high in nitrogen and must be composted first before adding to your garden. I too have a compost pile, but find that a compost pile needs much more...
