    Default Gardening questions/ tips thread

    A part of having an emergency plan is a food source like a garden.

    I am hoping that those with gardening knowledge can share their wisdom on important things they have learned over the years and answer questions that newby’s might have.

    So have questions...... post them here.

    Have answers to questions...... post them here.

    Have tips...... post them here.

    I was planning on starting a garden this year and this seems like a good week to do so.

    There is a lot of wildlife where I live. We get rabbits, skunks, squirrels, groundhogs etc.

    I am planning on doing a raised bed garden. I am going to line the bottom with chicken wire and build a cage to go over garden to help keep critters out.

    Does this seem like a good plan for a start. What should I take into consideration?

    I am planning on making something like this.

    we had issues with ground hogs and what worked best for us was a fence that would flex if they tried to climb it. We also attached small bells to it. no issues since we did that. If you want to be able to grow new plants from the seeds that are produced get heirloom plants. avoid hybrids because most will bare unusable seeds.

    Self Watering Tomato Cages

    Rules are written in the stone,
    Break the rules and you get no bones,
    all you get is ridicule, laughter,
    and a trip to the house of pain.

I told her at the end of the summer about the fish. It really does work.

    We built one today. I will probably take what I learned today and build a couple more over spring break.
