I put dead limbs in the bottom of my grow bags and flower pots. They help hold water and they break down to dirt. Doesn't take as much soil to fill. 💜🙏
I planted my potatoes today. In raised bed and two giant tubs. Still have left over potatoes too. Now to find a place for them. I used potatoes left over from last years harvest. Done this for two years and they have always done just as well as store bought seed potatoes.
We live in a neighborhood with just a small backyard. I am so excited because I have planted several tomatoes, 🫑 peppers, squash, zucchini and cucumbers in grow bags. So far everything is growing great ! Think I might try potato’s too. Where do I get seed potatoes?
You can get them at a local feed store. That's where I got mine last year. The year before, I got some small bags of seed potatoes at Tractor Supply. I hope your veggies do well! I ended up having to buy my vegetable plants this year from a locally owned greenhouse. For some reason, none of the seeds I planted sprouted. I cannot figure out why. I hope you and Darryl are doing well! ❤️
Yes it works great, hope all is well down that way. We've had thunderstorms after thunderstorms for days and days. No damage for us at this point, thank the Lord. Stay dry
@@ourkentuckyhome771 We use sand in our coop and scoop the poop daily. We also collect over 300 bags of leaves in the fall. All our grass clippings get used as mulch in the veggie gardens. We get at least 3 loads of wood chips free from the local tree guys. Also shred all our cardboard and paper.. We set up four four foot by four foot compost heaps which we add to daily. We use pine chips in our duck runs and coops which get cleaned out and dumped into the compost heaps. All of the kitchen scraps, tree trimmings, sticks, weeds and anything organic goes in the heaps. We let the chickens dig in it for worms and bugs. We are able to make enough compost every year to add a good 3 to 4 inches of compost on it. We have 20 four foot by 8 foot raised beds and many large planters. We also have enough to sift out our own potting soil. It's all done in our backyard suburban lot.
