@Jigs Gaton I am curious. It does look like pot growing there. Keep us posted.
@toni that sounds REALLY painful. I wear gloves as much as I can tolerate. I dislike how they feel but my skin gets SO dry otherwise. The skin on...
@Dirtmechanic this is probably true, but you also need enough contact with the soil for decomposition. Too much air in the mulch & nothing happens.
@Odif I had a load of wood chips delivered to the community garden 2+ years ago. They are very gradually decomposing. I have assumed they would be...
MG I so agree!
Well we'll find out won't we ?! Fortunately I have about 1/2 pound of onion sets to plant. I have already planted another pound or so in a bed...
Hi Gail, I just caught up with this stream. I wish you well and hope you will improve as the weather gets better.
Thanks Mart. I will keep all of the above in mind. Now to find some beer I won't mind pouring on to my bed rather than into my gullet!

Thanks @Odif. I'll do what you suggest. But, here is the problem. On one of the beds, I have already spread about 3-4 inches of compost ON TOP...
Hi all, I put down a layer of hay on my community garden plot in the fall. Covered up all the bare ground, and put it around the crowns of the...
That first one looks like a weed to me. I think I have yanked its ilk in my garden many a time.
That bee really did get a soaking, didn't he? Talk about a bad hair day.
I have finally been able to get into the community garden! Planted peas, lettuce, radishes. Yesterday I got the onion sets in! Today is a very...
Ah! So they are grape vines! Wow sounds like you have some extensive plantings Deana.
I was just being silly Deana. I think earlier in this stream you were talking about how much you enjoyed your vines....I just wondered if they...
Nothing like an empty crater! Congrats on getting all those rocks & giant stump out!!! Have you begun contemplating what you will put in?
Whoa! A knicked artery? Glad you went in for that! You sound like the knight in that Monty Python skit who has one limb after another cut off & he...
