It feels good to be able to visit around again. The database thing is really intense for me. I know how to use my computer and that is about it. Big learning curve. : )
I got to plant about 30 chicks yesterday that I harvested from around the gardens and pots. Looks like most everything made it through Winter in good shape.
Love the little tea cup plantings. I also like the way you used the pots. It looks like a wall of color.
Name: Carol Noel Hawaii (near Hilo) It's all about choices.
We had a workshop this weekend on making this gardening container ... out of the backing used for mounting tile. It is made out of cement, I believe, and other stuff. Anyway...the sheet comes in sizes to cut easily, galvanized corners (2 each corner) are screwed on to hold it together. If making a maximum size of 4x4, the weight of the soil gets heavy, so they mount eyebolts to the center of the panel with a wire connecting the two that hold the box in shape. This 'board' has been growing vegetables for 3 years with no sign of wear...and the one they have planted with beets is wonderful. Total cost for this box is way under 100$ AND you aren't dealing with toxins from treated lumber nor worrying about rotting wood. I was very impressed!!!
This is a smaller (2x2 box)they built for the demonstration.
Container Gardens are one of the fastest growing segments of gardening these days. Come on in and share ideas and gain some new ones.Everybody is welcome!
