Home Vegetable Gardening


In the current economic situation many people have decided to start growing their own vegetables to save money. In a recent radio show it was reported this may not be true. The cost of fertilizer, plant food, and insecticides plus the time it takes to tend the garden could end up costing more in the long run. In order to get fresher vegetables without the work visit your local farmers market.

My Square Foot Garden

My Square Foot Garden: "Update: 03/14/2015
We did not update this as often as we should have. Over all last years success was a bit disappointing but considering the circumstances we can't really complain.
During the winter months we've repaired or replaced some of the SFG beds and worked the soil by digging out roots and amending with compost. I'm putting more effort into this than the SFG method dictates but old habits are sometimes hard to break."
