Anyone have a garden going this year?

  1. Are you talking about the charcoal? I save it until I need it in a covered garbage can, then I grind it up into small pieces before putting it in the garden or mixing it into my homemade potting soil. If I need a lot of it, I put it through my chipper, makes a big mess but saves a lot of time and the dust just rinses away.

    Like the way you garden, I can only care for the greenhouse that way.

    My only comment is do what works best for you. My personal philosophy is to develop my own concepts based on my situation and the basic knowledge gleaned over time from reviewing other people's concepts, scientific principles, and my own experience.

    Space is always a limiting factor for what can be produced. The plants need adequate room to expand and the grower needs to access the harvest. In a small enough plot, plants can be spaced closer and accessed from outside the perimeter. Until you're experienced enough to have a working system, it's an experiment to see what you can make work. It's pretty hard (maybe impossible) to duplicate someone else's exact conditions.

    I found some tobacco suckers, let them grow, this is the flower they are bearing, but I dont smoke, maybe I can use the leaves to prepare a pesticide tea..What is weird with tobacco seeds, is that they can stay years in the ground without sprouting, these seeds may have been there a long time before I got this land .

    Looks like MartNorth has a nice set up. I have such a small garden compared to that. I'm having a hard time taking care of it. Just replanted corn and green beans, after they were washed out by a 5 inch rain last week end. I'm old and slow but keep plugging away.

    Born in'49 so I can relate to that. Raised behave helped a lot, In can sit on a4lb package bee box and do most the garden work. Should have it all planted, mouched with leaves and drip lines in today. Get th greenhouse caught up then, then go kill some red salmon.

    Martnorth, your raised beds look fantastic, what a preparation!Your installation is great!
    It must be a joy to plant the suckers in them now and bring life and food to these raised beds..
