Dh has one & loves it, I use the chips as mulch all the time. He is thinking of using it to earn a little extra money with in the neighborhood.

Me too, I was given 5 of them by an old neighbor that moved out of state & was hooked on them, I add a few more each yr & plan to continue that until I have all i need. They last a long, long time too.

I could make this work on 3 sides of my garden for sure. Have to show it to my dh & see what he says about it. I need to stop those nasty little prarie dogs as they eat everything!! And tumbleweeds too.

I have an assortment of raised beds. I use retaining wall blocks for circular beds(4 of them), paving edgers in a rectangle for my first asparagus bed, tires for many things, a untreated wood rectangle bed(b'day gift from db) & I have cinder blocks I aquired this last fall I will be making into...

Only problem is that pvc pipe leaks lead as it is used to process it. The gutter would probobly work. I have an old chicken feeder that i can use as another raised bed!! Thanks for reminding me of that!

Replanting about half my garden seeds as the nasty little %^&*$# critters ate my seedlings!!! Need to fix my fence now too!

I am sure we are on the list too & if not we will be when dh's bumper sticker goes on: I'll keep my guns, freedom & money: You can keep "the change". My db told me he is about ready to sell off everything & go find an island somwhere, I told him we would come join him & bring my...

:lau :hugs Thanks, it's nice to know I am not alone in this world.

I saw this list & my yes answers make me look suspicious to the gov't. Some of those questions were absolutely ridiculous!!

Does this mean I am in good company?

All they have to do is go to farmers markets to catch you selling "undocumented" food products or as they are driving to the big "corp" farms follow the roadside signs for eggs & produce. So they would go after the little guy as that is who the bill is aimed at to remove the competition for...

If seed sales were already up over 80% in this countrybefore this story broke, then the White house did not need to grow one to encourge the citizens to do it. It is being done as a neccessity in this country to put food on the table.

Did I use the word "idiotic"? No I did not, I simply stated a few facts. The article states very plainly & clearly who will be taking care of it(the staff). Plus if you are going to be taken seriously as a gardener then you do not wear a skirt & sweater with all the jewlery & heels to start...

Some of us were smart enough to realize that the sun does not cause cancer & only use a small amt of sunscreen to protect from burning in longer exposure periods.

All I want is people to be honest. It is a white house garden, not an Obama garden. Glad they are doing it no matter who tends it. I enjoy teaching others about gardening & leave it up to them if they want to do it organic or not. Me I have been organic gardening for over 20 yrs & to be...

If you read the article she claims it is "her" garden & she will be working it all the time. Which I know better & so does most people. I would not hire someone to tend my garden, because I want to make sure it stays 100% organic & I enjoy working in my garden. I get a lot of satisfaction in...

The woman has never gardened before in her life!! The groundskeepers & kitchen staff are in charge of the garden(head chef mainly). All we will see of them out there is photo ops nothing else. You do not start a 1100sf garden never doing it before. There have been container gardens going at...

What a great day you had!! Maybe send the lady a thank you card?! I know what it is like to get things like that, when we were having some really tough times we got gift cards in the mail to a local grocery store with no return address on the envelope. They were a very welcome gift, but it...

We are getting 2 concord grapes this yr, mainly for juice & jam. We already planted a lemon, grapefruit & fuji apple. Getting a peach & granny smith apple trees too. That will be the extent of this yrs expansion in that department(strawberries too) along with expanding the garden. To add to...

Makes sense to me too. Thanks. My honeydew & cantaloupe will grow toward the fence again this yr so they will have a trellis again.
