I’m going to school still and live in an apt. I want to grow my own organic herbs and vegetabesl. I just moved to SLC, Utah and actually plan to move back to Oregon in a year. I’d like to get things started though. What is your advice? I’d like to keep them potted for a while because I won’t have my own house to plant them in the ground at, for years. Thanks
I know it sounds silly right? Of course it would cost more to grow your own…or will it? My thing is…would the cost of water, good soil (for organic growing), and other things needed add up to the cost of buying at the store?
My boyfriend and I are wanting to live off the grid. We’re wanting to go to an intership for grey water usage, rain water catchment, solar panels, and organic gardening. We’re looking for something in the west. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Is this why America is so fat? Because when you go to a store, the healthy, organic style foods are higher priced than the man-made processed stuff. Doesn’t it cost more to make up fake food than to grow a garden? Why isn’t the good fruits and vegitables cheaper than the canned corn and instant mashed potatoe like stuff?
Hey! I plan on starting a vegetable garden soon, I’ve never done any gardening before. Would an experience gardener like to offer some advice? I’ve got a few basic questions!
1) Do you test pH levels of the dirt in your garden? If so, can you have different pH levels in each row of plants?
2) I read that you can’t plant strawberries close to peppers because they spread diseases. Have you tried this before? Is it better to have 2 gardens?
3) What do I need to do to the soil beforehand? Obviously I need to loosen it up a bit, maybe get some nice healthy dirt in there. Make it moist. Anything else?
4) What tools should I buy to start off with? I’m thinking a shovel, a trowel, some gloves, and a cultivator.Would you suggest anything else?
5) I know I’m a bit late on the spring season. What are good items to plant at this time? (I live in Tallahassee, FL) I would really like peppers, strawberries, spinach, and butternut squash (or pumpkin). Possibly blueberries or raspberries. Are these ok to plant at this time of the year?
6) Where is a good, local, informative place to shop for plants, seeds, tools, etc? I’d like an organic garden.
Any other advice you’d like to offer? Thanks a bunch for any help!!! I really appreciate it!!!
Any other advice???
I’m thinking of doing a no till bed veggie garden in Oklahoma with sandy/clay soil.
I’m going to be making a compost pile and doing everything organic…so if I cant use bug spray or weed killer how do I rid my garden of it’s unwanted guest?
sorry, I tend to question pretty much everything before embarking on a new quest lol.
I am 17 years old and turn 18 this october. I want to join the peace corps applied agricultural science field. Ideally I would like to work with small communities to grow more food. Is this a realistic possibility for me? I really wanna help people. I’ve been in ag classes all high school and have always done organic gardening and stuff and I’m sure I will learn more by then.
also I’m not completely set on the agricultural thing. i would take any position to help people
Mine…
(1) A city in Northern England near Scotland full of inbred retarded Northerners.
(2) A city subsidized by British tax distributed in the form of benefits for the jobless retarded inbred locals who make up 100% of the towns population.
(3) A hell hole in the North of England.
(4) The inbreeding centre for Northern humans and garden vegetables. (This process is organic, at no point are the locals forced to have sex with vegetables.)
Oh yeah, bet you’re jealous now…
I’ve heard that copper sheeting works…does anyone have any experience with this? Is there anything else that’s non-toxic? (Read environmentally friendly, organic)
