Any Southern NV SFG out there?
Hi!
I'm new here, just joined the other day and have read all through the Southwestern Desert threads. I see lots of AZ and NM gardeners, but no one in the NV area it seems.
I admit, this climate is challenging to say the very least. I have tried several gardening methods here and have learned all sorts of ways not to do it. I will be giving the New SFG a go this year and would love to know how anyone in this area (Southern NV, zone 8a) has done. I have made a few connections from my thread on the welcome board, thanks again everyone.
I am sorry to say that my many "failures" over the last few years have discouraged me to no end. I had beautiful gardens and wonderful harvests from my MI gardens, ground and planters alike. So I would love a little inspiration and to hear of some success stories
Have a wonderful day

Las Vegas Gardener - new to SFG
Just starting to plan my first vegetable garden and am impressed by the SFG method. I need to get busy. Willing to hear from Las Vegas locals - any SFG trials or tribulations with our unique climate?

Hi Dreaming of Green
I'm sorry I can't help even though I lived much of my childhood in LV, Henderson & finally BC.

Re: Any Southern NV SFG out there?
My mother has two 4'x4' SFG beds in Las Vegas. I know she's peeked at the forum a few times, but since there was never any activity in her area I guess she didn't see the point of joining. Last year was her first year vegetable gardening there, and also first year of the SFG method. I'll see if I can talk her into saying hello and sharing her experiences.
Re: Any Southern NV SFG out there?
Dreaming! My FIL gardens in the Carson City area. He doesn't do the SFG thing but is very familiar with the issues of gardening in a barren, infertile desert! SFG will save you from most of those issues. Are you doing table top boxes or boxes on the ground?

MuzzyLove! Missed that it was your first post above! SFG is addictive, and helps bypass many of the issues faced by gardeners in less-than-ideal growing conditions!

Two or three years ago, someone in the LV area posted marvellous pictures of a 12"- deep SFG on this website. So, it CAN be done!

It's good to know that it can be done, I am trying to get my plans in order, build my boxes, shade and compost bin etc. Hopefully I will be ready for a late spring/early summer planting. No cool weather crops until fallTwo or three years ago, someone in the LV area posted marvellous pictures of a 12"- deep SFG on this website. So, it CAN be done!
I would love to be able to connect to another LV SFG, hopefully your mom will give the forum another tryMy mother has two 4'x4' SFG beds in Las Vegas.

The New SFG book
Well, I'm working my way through the book, making notes, and am anxious to start. I have my husband to put together the grow box and also a "back-up" in case he's too busy. I saw an ad on craigslist for 4 bags of Mel's Mix. Sure hope they're still available.

Vegas Baby!
New user, new garden, new gardener here.
I had bought some cinder blocks to make raised beds, but thankfully didn't fill them before I got Mel's book (2nd Ed.).
So much of what I thought I knew, I was going to do wrong...
I had five beds laid out, 40" x 40", and they are already 16" deep, was thinking I had to go to 24"...all of it wrong!
I am tearing it all down this week/weekend, and doing just two beds, a proper 48" x 48", 16" deep which I will do 4" in of sand in the bottom. Without any arid environment guidance per se, I feel we in the desert need to have a bit more depth to try and moderate temps and water loss...if anyone knows for sure whether I'm right or wrong about this, please let me know.
I have seedlings I just started - Straight Eight cucumbers, Black Krim tomatoes, Cherokee Purple tomatoes, and Crenshaw melons. I also have Thomas Laxton peas, Touchon carrots, some rainbow chard, and some Serrano pepper seeds all waiting to be direct-sown. The cucumbers germinated in less than 20hrs...they're pretty eager!
If anyone has any interesting heirloom starters, I'd be very interested in connecting in a couple/few weeks to trade for my extras...
Hopefully I'll keep coming to this forum (I can't imagine why I wouldn't!), and will have some pics to post as things move along.

Welcome Brainchasm.
6 inches is all you need If you have deep pockets, you can make your beds deeper, but for me, I would rather build and fill more boxes

I understand, and believe me, I want to believe that in my heart of hearts, but our heat is so oppressive!RoOsTeR wrote:Welcome Brainchasm.

The cinder block is already going to heat up and hold onto that heat longer than I want; thinking about painting/whitewashing them. North and East facings are 5'6" stuccoed cinder block walls that reflect heat like crazy, and my beds are sitting on a graveled area that...you guessed it...gets crazy hot! I just can't see 6" of loose, airy, friable soil holding moisture for any decent length of time in those conditions.
Alternately, I can just fib to myself and say I want to do root veggies...

Re: Any Southern NV SFG out there?
Hello all, I'm a lifer here in Vegas and have had good results with SFG practices. In my opinion raised beds are affected to much by our high temperatures. My first beds 15 years ago were less than 4" above ground but extended into the ground. The beds I am putting in now are 6" but have chipped/shredded tree trimming mulch surrounding them on all sides clear to the top of the bed. This mulch shades the bed sides and effectively turns a raised bed into a sunken bed which is what the UNCE master gardeners recommend in our climate.

Another newbie to SFG in Vegas
Hey all, glad to find this forum and some folks just starting SFG in my area like me. I had heard of SFG some time ago and was interested in it because it makes so much sense. Plus, I've long wanted to learn how to grow my own "real" food and be more self-sufficient.
But it wasn't until I was introduced to and visited Vegas Roots Community Garden (non-profit & public) by a friend of mine who volunteers there, that I was really interested in trying my hand at it. Not long after my first visit to the garden, I became their volunteer webmaster. I tell you this because I was so inspired by the place (and in the interest of full disclosure, because let's face it, I'm biased ).
They grow all kinds of stuff there - all year long! And it's grown in a combination of both raised-bed and standard row configurations. So, if anyone living in the area needs some validation and inspiration that it CAN be done in a big way in Vegas, I suggest you pay Vegas Roots a visit.
Being so inspired, I just built and filled two SFG planters for my back yard last week. One is 2 x 2 and the other 3 x 3. 13 square feet seemed like a good start. I've direct-sown herbs in the 2 x 2 and two of the spots in the 3 x 3. The other seven spots will be filled with two tomatoes, two tomatillos and two peppers, as well as one onion variety (seeds currently germinating). Salsa stuff, essentially. And every one a non-GMO, heirloom seed.
Getting the soil together was the biggest hassle for me. I hit every garden center's website before I went out to grab the ingredients. But it still took me visiting three Home Depots, one Lowes, one Star Nursery and a Walmart to piece together the ingredients. And despite that, I only ended up with four kinds of compost. Oh, and I ordered the vermiculite over the web and ended-up paying $15 more than I should have for it, because Star Nursery (2 blocks from my house) carried it, but didn't have it listed on their site (hint).
Another issue that kinda gripes me about this process was the lumber. It's been a long while since I built anything out of wood and I seem to have forgotten that actual lumber sizes are far from the size we call them by. So, when you buy 2 x 8's like I did, you quickly find out that they are actually more like 1 1/2 x 7 1/4. My lesson learned: take a tape measure with you.
And also, it seems that Mel overlooked something quite important in his book (I've got the newest version). If you assemble any square foot box, you must take into account the interior dimensions of the box if you want to have actual and equal square foot spots in the planter. And, of course, the width of the lath used to made the grid should also be taken into consideration.
My failure to consider these things resulted in each of my "square feet" being more like 10 1/2 square inches. Not that I won't still have some great plants and harvests, but things might get a little crowded at times. And since I'm a perfectionist, I'm kinda bummed that my SFG doesn't technically live up to its name.
I'm going to be manually watering my SFG, and since Mel says you can't over-water his soil, I'll probably be watering twice a day during the warmer months. The Vegas Roots garden has an automatic irrigation system that waters for 5 minutes twice a day during the hot months, so I'll follow their lead. And their soil isn't quite up to Mel's Mix standards, yet they still have such great production. So, I'm very confident that my little starter SFG will perform well, too!
I'll keep you posted on my progress and looking forward to comparing notes with you other Vegas locals! All for now,
Russ

SFG in Southern Nevada
Hi! My husband and I are just starting our gardening adventures this season in Southern Nevada. So far everything is going great and we are so excited to SFG. A friend of ours was an avid SFG user in Southern Utah and we were hooked after reading the latest book. We plan on using shade covers, Agrabon, and hand watering this spring season.

American Dream, Welcome to the Forum!
SFG seems to be very successful in hot, arid areas. You have an advantage over other Newbies of SFG, in that you had a friend who showed you that it really works!

Welcome ADR! I'm in the city itself, and this is my second year of gardening, and second year of SFG.American Dream Ranch wrote:Hi!

If you haven't gotten started just yet, I would move very quickly if you want anything for this spring or summer...I just planted out my tomatoes and peppers two days ago!
I had amazing luck with melons last year - they were my zucchini (in that I had so much I had to start giving it away).
Drip irrigation is made for our environment...I'll recommend dripworks.com.
If you have any LV valley specific questions, let me know. I'm still learning as I go, but I'll tell you anything.
I think my sunflower plant can take me in a fair fight...it's taller than me, and it keeps giving me dirty looks.

Re: Any Southern NV SFG out there?
6" is definitely the winner. I'd even go 4" if they had it. 12" spacing is just toooo sparse for our environment.sanderson wrote:Dripworks.com - I love their 6" drip lines. Driplines and mulch are great for hot summer gardening.brainchasm wrote:American Dream Ranch wrote:Hi!
