Fire Ring / Round Raised Bed Planter 7/29/2020, 10:02 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 8 Galvanized Fire Ring for Rhubarb Raised Beds? 8/20/2018, 8:22 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 27 Bokashi 3/13/2013, 3:01 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 86 raised bed quanders 3/1/2024, 6:24 pm by dtilt1 I put leaves onto the top of the raised bed last year. Now this year I am wondering if I need to try and incorporate them into the soil or dig them back out and then add any dirt or ammendments I may need. I am getting my bed soil tested right now so I know what to add . my compost bin which is mostly an open bin did nothing for me. I am … [ Full reading ] Comments: 1 Starbucks for coffee grounds! 5/19/2013, 11:35 pm by sanderson The Starbucks manager not only gave me a heavy bag of used coffee grounds, he double bagged it and carried it out to my car, all with a smile! The grounds are super fine compared to drip ground Folgers that I used to use, so I bet it will blend nicely. I tried a waffle house for egg shells but they didn't want the liability of giving me their "garbage." Any suggestions on obtaining egg [ Full reading ] Comments: 88 Here's my purple cauliflower. 6/12/2010, 1:06 pm by quiltbea I bought some Violet Queen purple cauliflower seed this year to start. Right now I have two in the beds this size.... The head is about 3" across. I guess I won't have to blanch these babies. I have no idea how it tastes, but I'll let you know when I harvest one. You can still see some of the raindrops from the light shower this [ Full reading ] Comments: 58 Best rain barrel instructions 6/7/2012, 11:35 am by claudiamedic I've seen a gazillion plans for rain barrel systems on the web. They all seem to have different pros and cons. Here's what I need: a relatively simple plan for 2 rain barrels. These will be fashioned by a novice with a minimum of power tools. The barrels are closed (two bung holes on the top). I've read about the plastic "self-threading" if you use a metal spigot....sounds like a big … [ Full reading ] Comments: 36 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map 11/18/2023, 10:58 am by OhioGardener This past Wednesday the USDA updated their Plant Hardiness Zone Map for the first time since 2012.
