    Any suggestions for @##$!!! bindweed ?!!!

    Thanks for all the replies. Do you think you actually have to solarize it? Or can you just cover it with cardboard and mulch over the top? If you put blacK plastic down, could you mulch over the top of that? or do you think it is the heat that would eventually get all 4 billion pieces of the...

    Anyone in RI want tall phlox, day lilies, irises or black raspberries?

    Wish you lived closer too, I ended up composting a lot of them. I don't think I could kill these, everywhere they hit the ground they send out roots, not to mention the roots of the mother plant and any black raspberries that fall onto the ground. . .

    Greenhouses and/or Indoor Growing Discussion

    I use wire shelves and hijack the space near the sliding glass doors in the dining room (southern exposure). I use heat mats for my warm loving plants, basil, peppers, eggplants and have both lights and a fan on a timer for 14 hrs/day.

    Blackberry's

    I strongly recommend that you get thornless blackberries. They are not invasive, but will spread at a reasonable rate, they taste good and they are THORNLESS! I'm zone 7 and they are fine here. I got mine from miller nurseries and Fedco trees might have them, but I'm not sure.

    Who uses chickens for tillers?

    I love gardening with my chickens. They were just pullets this summer so they really didn't do a lot of damage, but they did eliminate my grasshopper population. They also found a whole mess of grubs? worms? must have been 1000's of them (really gross) underneath my peach tree in early fall...

    I always use Fedco. I like their approach, it is great reading with wonderful pictures and it is really inexpensive. Kay
