BAHAHAHAHA!!! LOL. The answer and the story were great!! :D

I've looked in several of my pathology books, but I do have to admit I'm kind of stumped. I just don't have enough experience in this area. A few classes doth not a pathologist make LOL. I think Pat has a good idea on this. My suggestion is to take your pictures and description to your local ag...

12" is certainly sufficient for the average gardener and as pat noted, the box will do better if you by 6" boards :D I have one box that is over 2 feet high and is filled with nothing but compost. This is an experiment I am trying to encourage children with physical problems to be able to...

Nitrogen is what causes your compost to heat up. You will want more carbon (brown stuff) than nitrogen (green stuff) About 25:1. It will take some experimentation to find out a good "recipe" for the materials you use. This guide contains a table of what has N and what has C, then you can...

Do you have leaves on any of the affected plants yet? If so, does any leaf have black/brown spots, rings or curled leaves where they shouldn't be?

Gardening definitely, but I've ALWAYS wanted chickens :D

EXCELLENT suggestion! It should have crossed my mind and didn't!

Without seeing it under a microscope or up close to touch it, my first instinct is to say white rust, but I've never seen white rust on wisteria, well .. that's an understatement, I've never seen ANYTHING attack a wisteria. It definitely looks fungal in nature. White rust uses more than one...

Live oak leaves while breaking down slowly, do make an excellent mulch and should not harm your tomato plants at all.

When you dig a hole for a line you have added air to the structure. It is no longer as compact as it used to be. I'm not sure about the rootball, I've always had extra soil left over.... Perhaps is how big/wide you dig the hole or how you break up the dirt.

You have a point, perhaps a heat lamp and a sandy substrate inside would work. I didn't know they didn't like things too wet!

It worked lovely for me! Especially in cramped spaces such as patios, a front door area, in front of garages, and even inside under several grow lights!! The barrels are great at redistributing moisture and look fantastic :D I did find that the N level in the soil was a little odd at first. The...

I'm sorry about the loss gwen :( I put in a 2 acre rental plot of Quinoa only to have it all washed away with all the rain we've had. I have been waiting to plant the plug trays now for 3 weeks until I can be assured of some decent temperatures!

I agree, my first experience with parsley was much the same surprise. I had to remove my greenhouse at the landlords request and instead I put in two small bed boxes and without anything to put in them (no money for topsoil) I shoveled the sand that had been the floor of the house into the...

Tissue culture raspberries aren't too hard, you can put them directly in the garden as long as there is no risk of frost or trampling. To protect them from possible freeze, place a floating row cover over them until they've got a really good start. Don't feed them heavily when you put them in...

I'd be willing! Give me a shout at S0rceress0@hotmail.com and we can make arrangements. Please place "RHODIES" in the subject line so it doesn't go straight to junk :D

Hey there, Has anyone had good success with germinating Rosemary seeds? If so, how did you do it? This is one I really haven't attempted past my first few failed efforts. I'd love to be able to grow these from seed!

I would like to request an herb section be added. I have been jogging back and forth, but my question about Rosemary really does not "fit" in vegetables and fruits or trees and shrubs. Though I guess Rosemary is easily used as a shrub, I like to use mine for culinary purposes, not landscaping...

A shovel shoved down in between them cuts off roots pretty effectively to keep them in place. They are, as Whatnow noted, almost ridiculously easy to transplant. Get some root and just shove it in the ground. Water it, you're done. No special care required. Worried about leaf mold and fungal...

A freshman in one of my classes at school was asked why she wanted to go into commercial farming. She said "Because farming is fun! It's just like gardening!" I am still a bit of a newbie to farming, but even I turned around (with all the other grass seed farmers in the room, to look at her and...
