Clean ash should be fine, just no pressure treated stuff or plastics like what ends up in some burn pile and campfires. My grandfather use to empty his ashes from the woodburner directly into the garder all winter, but most composting literature that I have read say go for it, just mix it in...

Organic matter makes a huge difference. It takes time to get it built up properly, but in just a couple seasons I took mine from clay to some good stuff!! I have a few compost bins going that I add to all spring, summer and fall, then it goes into the garden (at least the finished part of it...

I would make a compost pile personally, and add kitchen waste, some leaves and such that may be around from the fall, etc. BUT I have also done what you are doing and my garden was fine last year. If you till it under in the spring it would be fine, but you will lose some Nitrogen in the...

Sawdust? WHat for? Do they eat that too? or does it serve another purpose?

O.K. another question, chicken manure O.K. or not O.K.?

Thank you for all the info!!, I will have to give it a try again. I have some extra totes, and could probably get my hands on a plastic coffee container (don't drink the stuff myself). I plan to go to the local bait shop, maybe do a container of red worms and a container of night crawlers, just...

Great!! Thanks for the info, I will give them a try soon. The greens are pretty big, but I want the roots to get a little bigger before I pick them. I just picked my first radishes yesterday, I love those!!!

I may have to go buy another one now. I hate to buy stuff though, I always end up with freebies and turn them into something, help keep my mind at work (my wife says I have ADHD)

I took a 1 inch drill bit and drilled a bunch of air holes in it, turned it upside down and cut out the bottom ( there was a rectangular shape that left a...

AMS3651, now you are talking my language!! I have a good bit of venison left from deer season and need to get busy cooking it, I have been eating my chickens that I raised and neglecting that deer waiting to be eaten. I will definately combine some info, peel then down and roast away!!. As for...

Hello, I planted Turnips, but have never really done anything with them in the past, I got a package of them when I was buying seeds, and of course they came up like crazy, now I have to figure out what to do with them. Anyone have any ideas?
