Beds not holding moisture? 9/26/2023, 2:24 pm by gfperkins This was my third summer using the Square foot garden method. I have re applied the several different composts to the beds every year to keep the Mel's mix in the right proportions. I am in the process of moving my raised beds to a new better location. I am shoveling out the Mel's Mix after a very heavy 2-3 days of soaking rain. I am noticing that only the top 3 inches or so of the soil … [ Full reading ] Comments: 2 updating my mix - what should I add 4/25/2023, 5:42 pm by stevenfstein originally put in 1/3 course vermiculite and 1/3 peat. Added 1/3 compost but probably did not use enough of a mix of 4-5. Each section of the garden is 4x3 and about 12 inches deep. Mix has settled about 2 plus inches in the past couple of years. Going to add 1 bag black kow composted manure, 1 bag each of Frey leaf compost and Frey mushroom compost and wiggle worm worm casting to each section. … [ Full reading ] Comments: 13 Sanderson's Table Top Beds 7/18/2018, 4:01 am by sanderson There are several ways to make a SFG table top bed. This is just the way I chose after viewing other folks' designs. A little of this one, a little of that one. I can't find where I previously posted photos of the making of one of my table tops beds, so I decided to make a new thread so I won't have to reinvent the wheel.  Some of my beds (those that are only 2' wide have 1/2 or …[ Full reading ] Comments: 31 A Farewell Salute to Yolos 4/16/2023, 11:52 pm by sanderson This is hard to write because I was able to meet Yolos (and Atlantamarie) last October 2022 while vacationing in Georgia and South Carolina. She has been a member of the Forum since November 19, 2011. I joined in March 2013. The Forum was like a family to many of us. Yolos was always cheering me (and others) on as we posted our puny successes and big failures. I told her that when I … [ Full reading ] Comments: 20 I picked my first strawberries today from my very first garden ever! 5/12/2010, 9:28 pm by Maya Papaya I picked my first 5 strawberries today from my first garden ever. It made me  . I shared the first picked one with my Yorkie Jet - we both enjoyed it immensely. I'm going to post some pics now. Everything is seeded and starting to spread their wings now. I have my trellises and hoop houses constructed as well.Cheers, Maya Papaya Comments: 4 Replacement Planting (Succession Planting?) 7/9/2023, 5:05 pm by OhioGardener One type of Succession Planting I rarely see discussed is really Replacement Planting. Some plants, such a cucumbers and summer squash, frequently meet early demise due to bugs such as the cucumber beetle or squash vine borer. It seems that just when the plants are at their peak production, they suddenly start dying and that is the end of the harvest. I use replacement planting to extend the … [ Full reading ] Comments: 1 new to SFG, need help plants look bad 6/22/2023, 12:23 pm by SeekingWisdom Hello, I hope I have put this post in the correct place. If not please let me know - I am a new to this forum so my apologies in advance. I have an outdoor garden which is very small (due to lot and neighborhood restrictions) and have (for years) had a garden in my basement. Previously I did hydroponics and aeroponics which I finally had to shut down due to an infestation of spider mites … [ Full reading ] Comments: 23 beneficial nematodes 5/31/2013, 10:13 am by jewlz2121 Beneficial nematodes...Who all uses them? What do you use them for? How do you use it? Do you use them as a preventative or use after you see pests? I'm trying to decide if my various bugs would benefit from adding this to the garden. I know there are bad nematodes as well...any chance that adding the good ones brings the bad ones? Thanks!
