Do you plant cloves from the grocery store, or do you buy garlic prepared for planting? How late can it be planted?

I know chicken litter will burn stuff, and I assume goat manure might if enough were applied. But when it's steeped in water, I don't see how it could burn the plants, as it's primarily water, with what nutrients it leached from the manure. And what I put in the bucket was a mixture of manure...

I got some zucchini planted today, along with a few sugar peas. We mucked out the goats' stall today, and put most of the muck around the blueberry bushes. I did put some in a 5-gallon bucket and cover it with water to start some manure tea. Anybody have any experience with manure tea? I know...

Do you prefer freezing green beans rather than canning them, Stephen? We prefer canning by far for beans. We like peas better from the freezer.

Are you referring to the stock panels, or the concrete wire? I'm not sure of their diameter of the stock panels, but they are rather stiff. For our goat pen, I have posts every 8' (panels are 16'), and even with the goats pushing on them constantly, they hold up well. My only concern with the...

To those of you who have experience with cukes on a trellis...do you have to train them onto the trellis, tie them onto the trellis, or are they like beans, etc....they'll find it themselves?

Dave got it right. Stock panels. I had 4 of them up for bean trellises before, just two to a row, zip-tied to T-posts, 8' apart. We've since quit using that particular garden spot, because of two oak trees that keep the ground sapped. The tomato "cages", as we call them, are made of concrete...

I was going to use cardboard, as I read somewhere on the internet, but I figured it might take too long to break down, so I used newspaper and some brown packing paper (I guess that's what you'd call it...comes in wads in packages, anywho). I wanted to prevent any resident grass/weeds from...

You sayin' I've got a "mitered" personality, Dennis? :lol: It was simply the best idea I could come up with to finish the corners. Well, the first two raised beds are about done. Got them leveled pretty well and filled with topsoil while ago. I went ahead and built a "trellis" over one of them...

I cut that one down for a customer 6 years ago. It was approximately 60' tall, which is a rather tall cedar for around here, and was thicker-trunked than most. I quartered up some two years ago for raised flower beds, and decided to use the rest of it for some veggie beds. I was going to hew a...

Good chance of rain today, and Carl had borrowed my groundie, so I just took it easy and piddled around the house. Got the ground tilled up for our raised beds. I quartered some cedar logs from a job several years ago to make the beds. I moved the frames, tilled the ground up pretty good, then...
