You actually don't need to purchase or cut wood. Here is a picture I found online that best describes what I'm thinking.
I did this same sort of thing, but we had extra brick laying around and I set it down on the paths just to give it a nicer look.
What I did was (keep in mind I'm working...
Not long. Less than a week. That's why I usually try to only pick up manure on Sundays during the summer!
OK, back to the garden. I think you will get much more out of raised, block beds. Think of it this way- You will get much more out of a 2x2 block than a 4x1 row. The row would do approx. 12...
I saw them at Home Depot yesterday! But one project at a time... I was there to finish up my veggie garden dirt! I'll start on the front yard in April. :throw
It is hot, but what what my mom has always done is spread it out so it dries out, then tills it. I know some people don't like to use it but it's never done her wrong. What I do is bury it deep in the containers, and it seems like when the roots finally hit it, the plant just shoots!! For the...
Heck, I have a truck... and family in Tustin! I go there at least once a month to take my 93 year old grandma around on errands. It costs me $50 a month (two trash cans a week worth) to get rid of manure, so if you guys take just a bit, it would save me money, even if I took it there for you...
Need some horse manure? I only feed alfalfa (no grasses) and they make it fresh daily. :cool: DH has a tractor so it's easy for us to scoop straight from the stalls and turnout into the back of a truck!
Ah! So you've been to the Tucalota Springs "zoo"...:gig I loved the chickens, though!
We have taken chickens on camping trips with us because they are in the "hospital" and I just feel better taking them rather than having someone else do it.
Kendra went to the desert a few times and she's been...
Wow!! :th Sounds like a fun project!
Well, we are going to Wilderness Lakes in Menifee next month. I've never been there. We've really never RV camped at all. We ride dirtbikes so generally, we go out to the desert for the weekend. We have a toyhauler with 100 gallons and a powerful generator...
We got nearly $6k back... and turned around and paid our property taxes with it! :barnie
I'm doing just about anything I can get my hands on and don't kill. :cool:
My neighbor just cut down a fence and I'm using the posts to build up my raised beds. I have to dump some more top soil in there...
Looks like I can't do the tomato/pepper one. We're going camping with our camping club that weekend. But my birthday is April 15th and my parents are coming down that weekend, and my mom would love going to Green Scene. I talked to my dad about it and he's going to mention it to her. She has...
Sungold may have been the name, but I want to say it was Golden something... Golden Nugget maybe? But it looked just like a cherry tomoto, only yellow and sweet.
I don't remember what happened with the OC Fair... Yep, I did see Mary before she left. She was out here in Norco and we met up.
You...
:gig I should be asking you for tricks! I honestly have no idea. This is my second attempt at a veggie garden. Last year, I got tomatoes, basil and cilantro to grow. The peppers.... they didn't do so hot!
I'm going to make salsa with the hobaneros. I don't blame you for being scared... I ate one...
Tomatoes, corn, peppers, radishes, cucumbers, jalepenos, hobinaros, cilantro... I think that's it?
The beds are ready! DH just has to run the water and put up an electric fence (&%$&^ DOGS).
Where do you get your plants? I'm not even going to try seeds! Last year, I went to Home Depot, but if...
:weight I see you bought the veggie plants in the decomposible pots! Can't remember what company that is, but I love their plants. Have fun with those!
