How does hardening off work? Ive always just waited till after last frost to take anything outside.
If I plant directly in the cold frame, do you mean In the ground, or should I still use pots & trays?
Oh and what temp do I want in my cold frame?
And what Is the best ways to vent? In a straw...
That is a great point!! I wasn't wanting to spent the money on a cold frame, but when we considered using straw we got excitted because we are wanting to use neswpaper and straw as mulch in the garden, so If we are going to buy the straw anyway then we might as well buy It early and let it serve...
The temperature is one of my concerns too! I don't want to kill the 150+ seeds I've started, but I'm also concerned about the space In the last week before planting! And the $$$ being spent on lighting would be nice to save
I have all my seedlings in my loft under fluorescents but I was considering now that it is slightly warming up to move them outside in a cold frame.
Ive heard of using straw bales to set up a 3 sided wall and then put plastic in a frame over the bales...a cheaper option than buying a greenhouse...
I'm trying to figure out what to grow for my chickens and I love this. I got some dwarf sunflower seeds to plant in my front yard and hope my chickens will eat them...good advice to save the flower heads for winter!!
We are needing some curb appeal, but I am having a hard time planting a non-edible garden. I would love some advice on a way to use that space for aesthetics and consumption. My front yard gets fantastic full sun. I have a 3 foot by 30 foot raised bed garden area In front of my house that is...
Let us know how it works out?
Do you have any lights in or around it or is it heated at all?
Im looking for ways to do some indoor gardening without too much electrical charge
