I posted this over on BYC, but I thought everyone over here would love it as well. For all the gardeners out there, you have to try this!! Its free for 30days and all you have to do is provide a email address. Nothing else. I just found this in my Mother Earth News magazine and tried it out...

I have these huge pots that I want to plant in, but I dont want to waste a huge bag of potting soil in the whole thing. I want to put something in the bottom 1/4 and then fill the rest with soil. Ive thought about rocks, but that would be too heavy. Ive heard people use packing peanuts, but Ive...

Ive always wanted to keep bees, but we live to close to town that I dont think it would be a good idea. But Ive been reading up on Mason Bees. Does anyone use these or know of someone who has? The main reason I want to keep them is to pollinate my veggies and flowers. Whats everyones thought on...

Thanks everyone. Looking at all the seeds online, I defintaly think its the hyacinth bean. Its really pretty too. How do I get them to grow? I planted a few in those Jiffy peat disks, but none of them have came up. I only have 4 left and want to make sure they make it. I have no way of getting...

Thanks. How large do they get? Will they take over whatever they are on?

I buying one of these for myself at christmas. DH asked what I wanted(we shop early) and I told him The Worm Factory. He just rolled his eyes and laughed. Muttered something along the lines of most women want jewelry, but Im asking for worms. :lau

I just started mine last Sunday. I took a Master Composting Class and they gave us free worms and a worm bin. The bin is basically just a big rubber maid tub and I drilled a bunch of holes in the top. Ive been reading around though and think I need to work something out to where there is mesh...

I recieved these seeds in a swap on BYC. She didnt know what they were, but said they were labeled "Purple Vine Flower" I havent planted them yet, but the seeds look very odd. Im hoping someone will know what they are just from the seed.

I have all three of these nasty things! :rant And if it weren't for the bur clover I wouldnt have any 'grass' in my backyard. When we bought this house there was nothing in the backyard. No grass, weeds, nothing. Just dirt. I bought a great pair of gloves that will handle those pesky spiky...

A friend got me hooked on it. She has hers growing in old tires, but I just use old wire netting. Such as chicken wire or hardwire clothe. I just lay the spuds on the ground and cover it with straw. Then when they start growing I put the wire around it and add more straw. Its a lot easier to...

Ive only had a garden for a few years now, but I could not live without my blossom spray. I found this in a Burpee catalog. I thought what the heck, I'll try it. The first time I used it I went crazy with the stuff! Spraying everything!! Well that year I had watermelons and tomatoes coming out...

Just a little off topic..did you know that melons will grow to the shape of something? Such as a box.. What you do is make a clear see-through box and let the melon grow to the size of it. They do this a lot overseas. Its easier to fit in the frig and to store them. I keep telling myself Im...

I normally dig around a little to see what I got. Sometimes their ready, sometimes their not. Have you ever thought about growing them in straw? Its much easier and cleaner to do. Just a thought though. :)
