    Ok... Serious post this time. From chicken to garden.

    Well, we have six hens and a 25 x 40 garden. Now to be honest, I do not have the time and proper location for a compost pile. I tried, but I just do not have the time to maintain it and it never worked. Someday might like one of those rolling bin types, but I digress... I probably change...

    Help, what is going on here!!!!

    I just went to check on my garden and saw this on one row or my potatos! I had not checked them in a couple of days as it has been wet, but just saw this! It appears to be even over the whole row, but not on the other row which are russets. (These are reds, I forget what exact ones.)...

    Well done concrete wire cages

    hee hee..... So I am way behind on making twelve of these cages for my tomatos (They have been staked) so tonight I finished them up. I started out using hog rings to clip them togather but did not like how loose they were. Then it dawned on me that the cage was just metal! Well I pulled out...

    Just checking in to post my garden photo.

    Well, this is my first "real" garden here in Connecticut. I grew up with large gardens, very large gardens indeed! However, this is the first good one we have had of our own. I finished the restoration on my Dad's old Troy-Bilt roto-tiller (see photos in the "garden tools" forum here) and I...

    Watering, When and how often?

    Well, this has been bugging me. I am in NE Conn. and have a typical vegi garden with your typical vegies in it. What plan should I work with when watering? I do not want to over, or under water my garden, so I figure it would be worth asking. Should some be watered more often while others...

    Fencing, reasonable protection?

    Well, I need to fence my garden and need about 150' of fence. I want to protect the garden, but have a limited budget. I like the "Rabbit Gaurd" fence which is $22.99 for 50' so I need three rolls, then I need about 25 more fence posts. I have a new roll of that "chicken wire" that has not...

    First post over here, thought the garden folk would like this.

    I am getting ready to till my garden once I finish restoring my father's roto-tiller I now own. This is a 27 year old Troy-Bilt Horse which it pretty much the best of the best. This was back when they were made by Garden-Way before MTD bought them up. A nice local company from Troy, NY who...
