Yep, grass clippings, fall leaves and if there is a tree service around you might contact them and see what they doo with their wood chips when they remove trees. The guy we use to do our trimming in the cemetery is THRILLED that we let him dump the wood chips there and I am thrilled to have an...

:welcome

I think maybe you are correct about coming out the side being a little safer. My Dad was here last night and asked about the Topsy Turvey he bought me last year...I told him "The dog ate it!" :lau

We are all worse than 4 year olds at Christmas! I must check the seedlings downstairs 4 times a day! lol

It might be better in the long run to look for something more suited to your area. The berries you are talking about require a Ph of 4.5 - 5 ( I think, I'mtoo tired to go look. lol) You could amend your soil and add acid fertilizers etc. but in the end Mother Nature always wins. You will be...

If you are planting everything in one area you only need to do 1 test and then adjust the soil in the area for what you are planting. You need to test Ph & fertility mainly. The tests for the trace elements may not really be necessary for you. Explain to the staff what you want to do and ask...

We don't mind a bit! I'll take the dark red hollyhock and offer Moon & Stars watermelon.

I think this is along the line of "A tomato is a weed if it's in a petunia bed." lol This stuff would be great on a bank to stop erosion but NOT in my veggie garden!

I am not familiar with a "broad fork". I am picturing something like a very wide potato fork, is that correct? Do you use it instead of a tiller in a garden that has been prepared before?

Just pass it on...do something nice for someone else for no reason. Random Acts Of Kindness. I love them. :love

Awesome Karenleaf! I bought a little 6.5 x 8.5 at harbor Freight last month but we haven't gotten it assembled yet. maybe this week.

The crown, which is the little tuber thingy (lol) should be 1/2 in and 1/2 out of the ground.

I read something that siad the Bush's had a few veggies growing at the white house.

I won't comment on any of the political stuff ... This seems to kind of go back to my poor performance with the Topsy Turvey. If I watered it enough then the water ran out the bottom and ran down the plant stem and eventually it seemed to rot the stem.

The $20 tester that I bought at Lowe's did not correspond with my actual soil test.

What's the Ph on that stuff? I'd be worried about that too.

Congratulations! You're hooked! lol

Adding fertilizer will not neccesarily change your Ph but without a soil test there is really no way to know what kind of fertilizer you need to add. You don't know if you need N, P or K or all 3. Also if you are using a little meter with prongs on the bottom the chances of it being correct are...

YUM, Duck Salad sounds great. I'll bet we could sell it to all those fancy restaurants that sell "microgreens". lol

I hope that that Lance is family friendly. If anyone thinks he isn't just let me know. :)
