Fall garden prep ?
Comments (3)Alfalfa may have a higher protein content but this could depend on several factors and may not always be true. I've never heard anyone around here call alfalfa a grass. It's always been referred to as a legume and is often used in a crop rotation for its nitrogen fixing capability. Lloyd...See MoreFall Garden prep.
Comments (10)Awesome! I couldn't do a real garden this year in any way, but utilized my planters for carrots. The weather brought them right along! It's incredible and I'm so excited about actually having a harvest on a year I didn't actually have a garden. LOL That being said, I wish you didn't live in Arkansas so I could have met you at the Garden Party Jo sponsored. I had gotten out of the hospital only a few days before. They fixed my neck!!! I still have 4 herniated in my lower, but I am so much more active and have half the pain than before. So, I'm making plans for the fall garden, too. What sort of cole crops are you going for this fall?...See MoreAmmending/prepping soil in fall-prep for the spring garden
Comments (5)I returned this morning from what has become a twice weekly run to rid the yard here at home of organic wastes and prep the soil in a garden a few miles away. Today's haul was 7 5-gallon buckets of green "stuff." I pulled the spent China aster plants out of part of 1 of the beds in the cutting garden, went to work with the shovel, and buried the asters and the green stuff under 8 inches of dirt. Several weeks ago, I was busy doing this in a bed in the little veggie garden where the potatoes had been harvested earlier. That bed is now growing fall crops of mustard greens, bok choy and lettuce. I like doing things like this even if it takes all that shovel work. There's no compost pile to move around - well, there's one at another garden. By digging out only about 25 square feet at a time, I make steady progress without killing myself and all the material is instantly gotten rid of. Eight inches of soil is adequate for any small plant. By the '10 growing season, decomposition will be well underway and any plant will live for quite a good number of weeks in the top of the bed before its roots ever reach the 'o9 organic matter I've been burying. I'll add fertilizer to that top 8 inches in the Spring. Also, by the time I'm done with whatever beds I can finish this year - the garden will have a well-cultivated look going into the snows of Autumn.

Comments (41)Thank you Lavender... Just loved your idea about the continue countertop in the DOL. I think it could make the oven cabinet look a little more hutch like. I think I could be far more creative with the cabinetry layout but I worked too much on this the last couple of days. need a break. i did work on the fridge elevation as well. I am going to post. would love your opinion and anyone else's if people aren't completely sick of my project! Two are with a window and two are without. Two are with the X cabinets, two are with regular cabinets. Either way I see the cabinet above the sink being shallower in depth than the others. Thanks for looking....See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
