My grandmother had a one acre strawberry patch in Northern Illinois. I used to pick strawberries for her. As you say, she had straw under all of her plants. It used to be a rush when a snake would pop ...

Thanks for the tips. Otherwise, I would have planted transplants as soon as they were big enough instead of in January. I tend to err towards getting things that aren't too frost sensitive in earlier ...

It is so cool to turn what would be garbage into something that I usually have to ...

How is this tree doing? Is it worth growing? How are the beans? Since this tree has been growing a couple of years, how big is it now?

I have a couple of baby trees in a pot and before I transplant ...

My garden is located where our round pen fo ...

Is Azomite and Elemite about the same thing?

Well, mine isn't that fancy. Some of those things cost a fortune. We got mine working now. So far, so good. It was a real nightmare to assemble though. We would have been better off without the direct ...
