    Germination

    This thread is kind of a response to Bob's tread about getting on topic, and kind of because its advice that I could definitely use. Do you germinate your seeds or plant them in the dirt where you plan on having them grow? Any suggestion on a good plant light? (I am using a ott-lite...

    Topsy Turvy

    one of the main issues I have seen is watering. I had a thought (and if its a bad one tell me) of using soft rubber in the holes for the plants, cut a small slit through it and thread the plant through it. the slit closes around the plant to hold the water, but use rubber soft enough to allow...

    hey your back! I was beginning to wonder if I had crossed the line with the comment I made on your pepper thread... I dont have to worry about the chemicals leaching up from the boards constructing the bottom of the bed? I bought enough plastic for the sides and bottom, I was betting on...

    I shied away from most of the root crops due to how shallow the bed was. It is only 6" deep. I did go with a small variety of onion. Potato is one that I would like to plant, but didnt think it would be a good idea here. Am I wrong? both of the blue guys told me to be careful with the miracle...

    Make a rain barrel easy!

    An idea for simplify and make the spout more useful in GPM's design. this list would replace parts numbered 2-5 in the list. One black 90 3/4" one 3" long 3/4" nipple one 8" long 3/4" nipple one hose bibb with 3/4" female threads Attach the 3" nipple and the 90 the way he describes. attach...

    Topsy Turvy

    I was recommended Beefsteak Tomatoes for sandwiches and the such, but between the suggestions for dwarves in the topsy turvy I will probably stick the ones I have germinating in the ground and look into my preference (as a fairly decent Itilian cook) Romas in the buckets. What size hole should...

    (please note I had to wiki lasagna gardening) everything I am doing this year is on a small scale. according to the article it said that I can start the lasagna now, but without coming out and saying it, it hinted that it is a good idea to start it up in the fall. assuming things work well, I...

    Pepper Seeds I have on hand

    The same pepper goes by both names. so Naga Jolokia and Bhut Jolokia are both correct, there are a few others it is called, but most cannot be pronounced due to shortness of breath extreme pain and profuse sweating. :D

    Blueberries

    My former Father-in-Law has a couple of blueberry bushes, one issue he always has is poison ivy getting in with it. that stuff will grow anywhere and loves the high acid soil that the blueberries do.

    Pepper Seeds I have on hand

    I considered some of these "accidentally" labeled wrong in my garden to fix thieves then I saw what work it would take to grow them, I'm going to pass. I would probably never eat any of them anyway. http://www.tmseeds.com/product/Pepper_seeds__Chili-Very_Hot__Naga_Jolokia/New

    This year is going to be my first attempt at gardening. Due to some back and knee issues I am going with a raised bed. I have enough scrap lumber to build a bed about 4ft x 3.5ft. the side walls are going to be made from 2x6s so I know I will be limited on what I can plant. I live in eastern NC...
