I know this is gonna be kinda hard to answer, but I was wondering if there was a 'ball park' figure out there. How many hours does is required to upkeep a certain # of square feet. so lets say your garden is 600 sq ft. how many hours a week would be needed to properly keep that up - if it's...

awesome. I can't wait to plant this weekend. I just wish there were more 'cool' hours in the day!! i love this forum :D:D:D

thats exactly what my friend said! she said the indians used to grow stuff that way :) Can I grow big pumpkins in with the corn?

BYC has def been one of my fav boards, theres so many great people over there.

I think it's great - I really am trying to get better at it. A great looking garden is proof of hard work. My best friend always has such an amazing garden. Since she's had it I've been determined to have crops of my own, also I LOVE veggies ( she ironically doesn't eat half of the stuff she...

ahh!!! thats what my romaine was doing!! sounds like once it's bolted thats it right? it'll be bitter forever... in order to get more lettuce you'd have to replant??

I'm REALLY trying to keep that mind during this hot dry season. lol. I'm going to attempt to have a winter garden this year :)

I used Picasa by Google - it's the free one :) I use it to lighten or darken & crop. other than that I use Macro mode on my camera

i really find the huge blanket of smoke over the sun disturbing...

I'm getting ready to plant some corn this weekend. so far from what I've read is 'no' on the long rows, I'm planning on doing a corn 'square'. I'm thinking that I should make a little dirt berm around the whole area so I can flood irrigate rather than use a sprinkler is that a good idea? I...

like other's said, I'd drill holes in the sides for aeration :) I think it'll work great!

I know I can make a 'tea' fertilizer out chicken poo ( stuffed in a burlap bag like a giant poo tea bag), any recommendations on what plants can have the fertilizer & what I should NOT use it on? Previously I thought that I could use it on anything......I have a feeling I might be wrong! I...

i used to have a system where the chickens would break down the straw that they have in the coop. first the straw starts out in the coop, then the next i push it out to the middle of the run - pile it up, they break it down, I'd do that for about a week or so. Everyday going out & raking it...

I have a question about the chicken poo - if you compost it, does the nitrogen level go down? btw your garden area is huge! I wish the seeds would've started:(

i had the same problem, my yard looked like the moon. I had to build a dog run with rocks in the bottom. I also did this becuase I have foxtails everywhere on my property & was getting tired of pulling them out of my dogs. I hope you get it figured out! I right there with ya on hating the mud &...

Here are some early Season pics of my garden that I really like...... the lettuce grew really well - until it got to triple digits. baby broccoli!
