Hey, I had an open area in my garden this year :hide and I was thinking about sticking some alfalfa there for a cover crop, but I wasn't sure how exactly to go about it. Do you have any advice?
We have tried four 120 watt cfl bulbs with our plants and they are spindly. We use regular lamps with our Jiffy trays. We currently only have two trays. Do we need them to be closer? Or do we need other bulbs? Or do we need more lights? Or is it something totally different?

Hi, we made fresh pack pickles last night. This was our first shot at making pickles. How long do we have to wait to try them? The recipes don't say and I would think just till they cool but my SO thinks that they need to sit for a time. We made the Bread and Butter and the Dill out of the Ball...

We are building raised beds this year and were wondering how to fill them. We have an almost limitless supply of Llama manure. We had contemplated filling the bottem with a manure/straw/hay mixture and putting a soil mixture on top. What do you think of this? What type of a soil mixture do you...
I am starting a first year garden (not my first as we moved in Sept.) and we have decided to have raised beds. What I want to know is what depth they should be. We are willing to build different depths.
Here is what we are planting; Corn, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Pea, Tomato, Beans, Strawberry...
