Ok.. I did it! I made the first just after my post, and I waited until my friend came over for the weekend to finish the other two, we each did one. She is now going home to make her own!
We used Pedigree 40lb dog food bags (BOSS seeds also come in the right bag), duct tape, a couple feet of...
Well.. I DID IT!
I planted my seeds today, 50 jiffy pots with 10 varieties, and 4 pint ice cream containers too. I tried to line them up by germination times, and now they are in the 3rd bedroom out of direct sunlight in their little green house (plastic tray lid).
I should wait until they...
would it work to strap 3 palettes together and use chicken wire for the front panel? I could use straw or window screen to cover the chicken wire as I build it up.
I think I'm going to plant a ruler next to the potato... to help me remember 7 inches tall, cover with 3 inches of dirt
My chicken coops face south.
Thank you, now I know the ideal location for growth!
I can build a cold frame right next to our garden, both with full exposure next to the coops.
That should be a great help!
Thank you all SOOOO much
HA! Would love to turn the house!!! Then our bedrooms would be dark in the morning! But they turned it the way they did due to the hillside they had to dig out for the footer.
I am home nearly every day all day.. I usually only leave the premises two or three times a month, but will more this...

if I did that... how cold is too cold?
I'm talking no more than 100 plants
Pat thank you so much I will remember the rock when I send them out
Steve in past years I confess to reusing soil... that must be why the gnats.. ok.. won't do that anymore and am starting with a fresh bag of the jiffy soil.
they definitely get long, that's why I get in a rush to transplant...
:pop
I learn so much reading!
mosty that I was wrong when I thought I was ahead of the game planting my seeds this weekend :/
there is always next year
Ok.. so i was excited.. I am ALWAYS excited to order the seeds... then I plant them in seed starting pots, then the cat won't stop laying by them so the soil gets full of her hair (sometimes she eats a couple when they get bigger but this is less a problem than her fur!!) and so we pick out the...
I hand watered last year, even though I was trying to setup a drip system, because all the rainbuckets were full so we ladled the water out to each plant. It was better than broadcast watering, but I always feel like I don't know how much water they need!
I bought a miracle grow fertilizer gun...
I clicked it again.. it looks like a temporary yahoo error.
it's a valid site, it's been online for quite a whilte, lots of links to it in Google.. try again in a few.. it's pretty cool little pot!
I found this too http://www.geocities.com/newspaperpots/
of course if I went to that much trouble, I'd probably call it a gift and give it to someone! could be a fun gift to fold this up with a special plant in it for mothers day... or somethin
