A lot of people say that they prefer the taste of sugar free and I just say more power to you.

I have been gardening for a while now but it seems like not everything I do works so this year I am going to be doing organic gardening with the hugelkultre system. I already have 2 really nice metal raised beds and I have a lot of pallets to make more. My hope for this years garden is to stop buying the toxic chemicals that is put into almost everything we buy at the store. I also have a bunch of pots for some of the food I want to grow. I will post pictures as soon as I can get some help with making the pallet beds and getting the tilling done to be able to set up the garden.

Pallets sound like a good idea; we can get some from a neighbour, however, I am concerned about them breaking down too quickly (untreated timber)? I so agree with "organic" ... it is so convenient to pull out the weed killer or to look for a chemical solution for pests : ( We really have to retrain our brains to go back to basics, and to nurture Mother Earth; she will repay us in a healthy way : ) Too much rain, pests (locusts, caterpillas etc), rats and wallabies have been eating my seedlings for a year now. So I bought some containers from ebay and have made a start (some lil seeds popping their heads now). I had to empty the containers because they were waterlogged from all the rain). Planning on building a tunnel (with bird netting) and making garden beds inside it. Happy gardening, and keep sharing your ideas please : )

Yes but my husband has one mindset when it comes to yard work. Put it all on the burn pile. He's got a lot of intelligence but when it comes to recycling it's out the window. He's going to be gone till Thursday so I might go out and get most of the leaves off the pile and put it in the run for the girls to make compost for the garden

I am sure that your girls will be very happy that you do this; mine love mulch in the coop : )

The early part of the growing season did not go well here because of too cool of weather. Nothing I did or didn't do worked. Had far too much cloud cover too. Once the weather finally warmed up the garden did much better.

We in AU have had so much cloud cover (and chem trails daily for over a year) ...
