"yes..., I agree. I am of the same mindset. no tilling, no hoeing.., no plowing. spend your time considering different ideas or crops. I'm guessing the pvc needs to be replaced every so often, so beyond that, very sustanable."

stephen fitzwater, UT - zone 7a commented on Community Manager's group Vegetable Gardens"Kimberly, the ID (inside dimension) of the planters is 3' X 6', and the height is 12". There are 23 planters in this particular garden. The nice thing about raised-beds is, even if you have a small plot, you can maximize space, effort…"
stephen fitzwater, UT - zone 7a commented on Community Manager's group Vegetable Gardens"Yes...! it's amazing...! This use to be a line row garden. Would have to work for a week or two before it would be ready to plant. Now, especially with working with the soil food web theories, it's virtually no work at all. Gardening…"
stephen fitzwater, UT - zone 7a commented on Community Manager's group Vegetable Gardens"yay..., spring is starting to sprung. last year this time three was two feet of snow on the ground. This year back to a somewhat regular type of season. raised-beds are warming nicely, so all the early spring items got in this weekend. with any…"
stephen fitzwater, UT - zone 7a replied to Margo Howland-Mastro's discussion Raised beds in the group Vegetable Gardens"If your raised-bed planters have sufficient height, you shouldn't need to worry about the root system penetrating below the raised-bed line. (12" seems to be the standard for semi sophisticated roots systems) If not, you do not want to…"

midd season
"thank you..., Well...., it would never have been created if I had to pay for it at the time. It was all scrap leftovers from a vinyl installation. Nice thing about raised-beds, you can make them out of just about anything and have great results. As…"

stephen fitzwater, UT - zone 7a commented on Community Manager's group Vegetable Gardens"Got to turn the soil the third week of April this year. Last year wasn't until Late May, and the 3 previous years was in late March. So an April turn looks good, now have to see how the next couple weeks go for planting. Lettuce, spinach and…"

- Stephen, I love water gardens; don't have room for many. Love getting new ideas; I'm about half water garden, half cactus gardens. You can spend as much or as little time working on your water gardens as you like, just have to have the right design and balance.

"I have a bunch of butternut squash still growing in the compost bin. Pics later."
"Idea just popped into my head. That would probably be an easier way to sift out my worms this year since I have more worms than compost right now. Do what you said scoop up a clump, dump in water then pour thru a sifter instead of just rubbing the…"
"Don't think I ever remembered to put this pic in. It's not so good with the grow light behind it but I sure like these plants growing in bottles better than pots.
I can relate to horrible weeks as mine was too. CAught the crud and it has…"
