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 ... | |

We just put the first batch of compost on a tree. It took about 1 month to make it. It could not have been easier.

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

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 ... | |
