Mine held up just fine...I placed them snugly together on a large cookie sheet...which helps hold them up and keep them from coming undone and then the lip from the cookie sheet held the water well. I would imagine that the newspaper would attract worms and they would eat thru it.

I know that a lot of newspapers have moved to using soy based inks so it may not be all that bad...I figure the worms like it so it works for me (and them)

Im not sure why but I am not peat pot fan. They are pricey especially if you are planning to sell starts. This year I made newspaper pots which work out to be free, since we get the paper. You can plant the whole thing just like PPs. and the best part is that you can make whatever sizes you...

Thanks for the input... I think I will go at it from two angles. 1) Keep adding to my compost pile, it is breaking down but seems slow so I will occasionally toss some garden soil on top 2) I will also dig in some bunny litter here and there in my future bed sites.

Thank you I appreciate the help! By the way, I cracked up when I looked at your user name...very funny!

Wow, what a wonderful place! You certainly are blessed to have found it :) I got a good clear view of your tomato trellis by the way, you described it very well! I am going to give it a go for my fall/winter toms.

I think I would classify it s a root vegetable.

They are gorgeous! Mine are just a smidge beyond seedling status...I hope they grow as nicely as yours have :) Any tips for a first time melon grower?

I have a simple question about composting, as I am new to it and would like some input. We have a bunny and her littler box contains shredded newspaper, Timothy hay and of course, poo. For about a week or two I would pull aside some soil and dump the littler box then cover the litter up with...

Wow, those are some serious worm bins! We have a bunny and this what DH & DS are going to make for me...I think this is pretty darn clever! Although, I only have a small suburban lot. http://urbanhomestead.org/journal/2003/01/10/2957/

ok, so the minimum 9" but don't I have to keep hilling up? Or is the 9: at the 'hilled up' height? My soil is pretty hard and rocky, so I will be using mostly compost & amendments, so any advice would be very much appreciated!

Ah-ha! I was picturing a round t-pee. I get it. Now what is on the backside? nothing? So the front is planted with toms, and they lean back onto the latticed string and you weave them in as needed. Underneath you have other things planted. Very clever! Does the underside get enough sun? Is the...

I just saw a Cherry Hot at Home Depot yesterday...the pepper was ripe and bright red....I think you have a little more time to leave it on the plant.
