Complicated mixed up bunny poop!

5/5/2024, 6:47 pm by jemm

Hi! I was just given several bags filled with rabbit manure which I was so excited about!


But when I got them, I found that there is a LOT of hay and sawdust mixed in with it. (The bunny owner assured me that several gardeners have used this mix and no seeds have sprouted from the hay.)


I know rabbit manure is considered a cold manure, that it doesn't need to compost further to go into the …

Butter Beans????

4/13/2024, 4:13 pm by Lindesu

When I was a child, my grandmother would buy some garden fresh beans (Jackson, Mississippi) from a lady who lived nearby. They were similar to lima beans, a large bean, but the best things I had ever eaten!  Most searches say that butter beans and lima beans are one and the same. However, the flavor was so much better. Was this just because they were fresh Lima beans, as opposed to dried limas? …

Anyone Using Agribon Row Cover To Extend The Growing Season?

10/13/2011, 12:04 pm by MoneyMan94


Living on Long Island (NY) we will be getting our first frost shortly. I have broccoli, cabbage, spinach, and lettuce in my garden right now. I have done some research on using Agribon (30) to cover the garden and lengthen my season. This is my first time attempting any fall vegetables.



I am wondering if anyone has used this in the past and if there are any words of wisdom you can impart …

Testing Compost for Persistent Herbicide

4/5/2024, 4:08 pm by OhioGardener

Last fall a neighbor dropped off a truckload of cow manure from his calf growing operation.  I had asked him if he was aware of any herbicides being included in the food for the cows, and he said everything was organic.  So, I let the pile of manure sit over the winter to partially compost. It composted down to about 1/2 the original size of the pile over the winter.

Last week I got a shovel …

Bokashi

3/13/2013, 4:01 pm by jazzycat

I've been wanting to compost for a long time, but it seems so complicated and confusing, and I'm a procrastinator, so I've never done it. I recently learned about a system called Bokashi, and you ferment the food in buckets, and then add it to the compost pile, or dig a hole where you want to plant and cover it, and after a few weeks you have compost. It seems easy enough. You just toss in …

Fire Ring / Round Raised Bed Planter

7/29/2020, 11:02 am by OhioGardener

For several years I have used 3' diameter by 1' high fire rings for raised beds, and am using them for raising rhubarb plants.  Was surprised to see that in the latest Tractor Supply Co. flyer that they are now not advertised as just Fire Rings, but as "Fire Ring / Round Raised Bed Planter".  Since these fire rings are open to the bottom, they are excellent for raised bed gardens. Each 3' fire …

Galvanized Fire Ring for Rhubarb Raised Beds?

8/20/2018, 9:22 am by OhioGardener

We have lost a lot of our Rhubarb this year due to the crowns rotting from continuous rain all summer long. So, I'm thinking of making a few small raised beds to put the rhubarb in. I have found some 36"x1' galvanized fire rings on sale for $25, and it seems they would be perfect. The 3' diameter would give the rhubarb room to spread out, and the 1' height would keep the crown out of the wet …
