I find that little Honda is great for fluffing up my perennial beds also. I'm not one to leave well enough alone, and am constantly adding new plants all summer long, which leads to compaction. With...
Be careful with all that nitrogen. You will have lovely green plants and no fruit. Here is a site you may wanna look at. http://www.ehow.com/info_7965499_fertilizer-strawberries.html
Also too much...
They like Yarrow, and Rose of Sharon also. I use mass plantings of many plants suggested here. What you also should do is give them a place to drink water. I use a small birdbath in the center of my...
First off welcome DL. I'm not sure what you are asking. Strawberries naturally send out runners, and this is what you are probably seeing. Kinda tells my your strawberries are doing just fine. If you...
I had this problem when I moved one of mine also. It's new home had about 1 1/2 hours less sun, and the ground in that spot happened to be less acidic. I now mulch two bags of oak leaves each fall to...
I dropped this question here yesterday in hopes of getting some conversation going. Yes I could have googled my question, but I like to hear from real people out in the trenches that can relate to my...

I'm new here, only a day or two old, but this place seems like a good place to hang my gardening hat. Even tho I like talking to myself, it's not conducive to good mental health. Last time I looked...
And to add to that. If you fertilize your lawn to get that lovely green, you will be adding way too much nitrogen to your veggies. Too much nitrogen, and you will have really nice green plants with...
Your growing season is so short, i'm not sure it would be worth it to try. If i'm not mistaken that latitude even has problems growing tomatoes. Cool weather crops would be where I would set my...
I get mulch/wood chips delivered in bulk. Ten yards at a time, and yes it does stink because it is still composting in that big pile they are getting it from. I live four miles from a site that makes...
I have to agree with most of the posters here. Rent a rear tine to get the initial job done. Then; This is where I part ways. People think bigger is always better. Not true! When re-tilling the...
You hit the nail on the head! Rotting grass is the absolute worse smell evah!
I use my garden tractor for hauling stuff around the yard. For everything else, it's specialty tools. Then again I only have 2/3 of an acre to work with. The word "tractor" is a strong word, and...
Last year to add to my butterfly attracting plants, I bought four Swamp Milkweed
Asclepias incarnata 'Cinderella' The goal is/was to bring in the Monarch butterfly, which they did. I even had them...
New guy here.
This forum is right up my alley.
I've been known to talk to myself, my wife, and walls on occasion.
Where do you guys keep the popcorn? ;-)
