I am considering grafted fruit trees. My wife saw some in a catalog and liked them. Has anyone had any experience with them? Are they pretty hardy? Do they start fruiting reasonably quick. Is the fruit good quality?

Bunny litter is excellent for worms.

I think the metal roofing would be better but not absolutely necessary. It should definitely give you the side benefit of lasting longer. It is a costly initial investment though. As far as keeping mosquitoes out of the cistern I am sure they make screens for that. In the past I have used copper...

For those saying rainwater will not meet your needs it can come closer than you think. If rain catchment is combined with a greywater system and good conservation it will go alot further. My family of three used 2k gallons last month through very strict conservation. We have about 2 dozen...

Every suggestion so far is great. If you drink coffee do not throw those used grounds away. Coffee grounds are a great soil amendment. Consider raising some kind of animal other than dogs or cats. Rabbits and chickens are real good to keep around for soil repair. Rabbits or chickens can be put...

I am in zone 7b. I am hoping someone can tell me the typical yield per stalk per season. I am shooting for about 40 dozen ears this year but don't know how much to plant.

Congrats and thanks Reinbeau. I will try not to work you too hard.:) Okay where is the devil smiley when you need one?

Good point I wonder if a thermostatically controlled attic fan could work as well?

I plan to get some to help build topsoil after some excavator damage in my yard. I have rocks and dirt from 20 feet under in the place of my topsoil. Darned city and their sewer project. I don't mind the weeds so much because I think my chickens ducks or goats should like whatever weeds a horse...

If it is privet get all the roots out you can. It will be a drawn out battle even after you do so.

I am about 50 miles east of Atlanta. I am in South Walton County.

I use it like lime. Lowering acidity of soil. If you use too much it will become a clay consistency once wet.

My seven sister rose bush needs pruning. It has not been pruned ever that I know of. I can not do it at the moment because it is still blooming. I would like some tips on doing this right. Also I would like to root some of the clippings. How do I do that?

I was involved in veggy gardening regularly from the time I could walk until a few years into my adulthood. Things started changing after I turned 22. Some years with living arrangements or whatever I could not have a garden. I have grew veggies in containers on apartment balconies because it is...

I wish I had a source for the stuff. I bet it does really well.

If you drink coffee save your used coffee grounds to use as a soil amendment around the grapevine. Not touching. It may help. I talked to my grandparents about all the plant nutrients they were wasting by throwing their veggie scraps and such in the garbage instead of the garden. They took it to...

My seven sister roses are in full bloom. I wish I could tell you what zone I am in but I honestly don't know. I do live in lower North Ga if that helps.

I am new kind of new to Backyard chickens and The easy Garden Forum. Backyard chickens is a great site and this site is well on the road to being just as great. I love raising my chickens as well as my gardens. In alot of ways in my situation one would not be quite as easy as the other. These...

I never bother composting anymore since the chickens and goats eat my veggie scraps. I just pick out a spot where I know i will garden later. I then spread the litter out and till it in. When I till for the garden later the tilling is much easier.
