    What is your favorite leaf mulcher/shredder?

    I don't have a shredder but here's what I do. I herd the leaves into big piles with my Dixie Chopper (mower) and then mow them up with my small mulching mower - which has a bag. Then I just dump it all right into the gardens.

    Starting a New Corn, Pumpkin & Watermelon Patch

    Thank you so much for the help and ideas. This was just the advice I was hoping for. I got up the nerve to ask my neighbor if he has a tiller. He doesn't but a friend of his has one he can borrow. That'll be a great help for the corn. I told him in exchange he could help himself to whatever...

    Starting a New Corn, Pumpkin & Watermelon Patch

    Hi. I'd like to get some help finding out how to convert a field. It's approx an acre and a half that is not used for anything. I would love to grow pumpkins, corn and watermelon for myself and family, and take the rest (if there is any left) to a farmers market or somewhere to sell. I don't...

    Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds

    I wish I could be there. I bought seeds from them for the first time this year. I was disappointed that a few things I wanted were not available. One was their Painted Mountain Corn. I can't wait to see how the Pink Accordian Tomatoes and Cinderella Pumpkins do. Edited for spelling
