    Rhubarb Question

    I thought you might get a kick out of that from a Rhubard recipe page. I doubt if many would die but i wouldn't like to take that chance. I finally found plants at Home Depot and gave in and bought some. I have been wanting Rhubarb for years and never got around to it. I have walking onions...

    Succession planting plants

    Paul, That is one reason why I am doing all seed starting myself. You cannot find any other started plants after June. I like cold weather plants and in NJ you will not get any late crops for sale in the local markets, is that what you are asking? To be honest I think that is why you will...

    The point here is, THE GROUND IS THE SUPPORT!!! You do not need wood for support. You are building the beds on SOLID ground. I turns out to be more cost effective this way. Wood also warps don't forget that. I for one love the way our friend made hers they are simply stunning and I am...

    Trex is decking material, so if you use it on your deck in the summer that means he is saying it will warp on your deck? This is a quote from the Trex site. I have seen many projucts with Trex type material made into planters etc. That means they put dirt next to it. And decks are made with...

    Kinds of tillers

    My thoughts exactly. I just bought the thatch attachment and can't wait to try it. This is a sturdy well built small tiller that anyone can handle. Besides it comes with a guarantee, use it for one year and if you don't like it you can return it, you can't get better than that, you will not...

    Topsy Turvey upside down planter??

    Take a look at this. You can adjust the concept to your needs. Dome people use plastic bags, doubled and I even saw one that was made from an Angel food cake pan with the inside turned upside down. looked weird and it seemed to work. Have fun I am going to try it with extra heavy duty...

    I have a Dappled willow bush, Want that? Maybe you have some differents seeds we can swap, is that allowed in here? Willows propagate very nicely just cut some hard wood, maybe even soft and put it in the ground or a pot. Some people use rootone but it is not needed. Lots of bushes can be...
