"This is an interesting thread! I am planning to use tires this year, but I wonder if trash cans might be easier. The tires I set out last year seemed difficult to pack with dirt, then we got fire ants inside, so the potato crop was ruined."

Jordana Heath replied to Donna Wright's discussion Garden pooping out... does anyone plant a cover crop for fall and winter? in the group Zone 7"Bean and grasses like rye, replenish the nitrogen in the soil, a must to help keep the soil healthy and pests away. I did rye grass this year since I was late doing my cover crop, but vetch, fava, rye, wheat, etc. is great. I live in zone 7 and do…"
Jordana Heath commented on Garden-Share's group Vegetable Gardens"I had trouble with bells until this year. I planted them with onions and lettuce and made sure they got regular water and they flourished! 6 plants gave me 3 bushels of large peppers that were going for $1 apiece in Walmart this year!"

If you don't drink coffee, you can purchase MirAcid (by Miracle Grow) or other products to help get the soil a bit more acid. You can also use pine straw as a mulch to…"

Jordana Heath commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 7"Hi all! I'm from eastern NC and doing intensive gardening in my backyard. I would love to meet people doing year-round gardens here for planting and insect control. I'm originally from MI, so some of the planting times throw me for a loop!"

"Hi Cindi, glad you like them, but oh no. Most Bowling balls are much too heavy for me. I use those big foam balls from the craft store. Much lighter and easier to work with, and you can stick things in them. Put on a coat of adhesive grout…"
