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? … [ Full reading ] Comments: 1 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 13 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 0 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 89 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 9 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 … [ Full reading ] Comments: 27 raised bed quanders 3/1/2024, 7:24 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 | Statistics We have 34373 registered usersThe newest registered user is amymch Our users have posted a total of 307171 messages in 23402 subjects Who is online?
