    Bone Meal getting harder to find?

    Bone Meal 5-10-0 plus something like 4 for Calcium Add to that, I tested using steamed Bone Meal on Tomatoes for to see what the overdose level was. I transplanted, (in 2005, professional greenhouse conditions), 6" tall healthy Tomato plants into one (so called) gallon pots with various amounts...

    Bone Meal getting harder to find?

    That's not hijacking :caf at all. Heck, in real life the subject hardly ever stays focussed. Amazing how a conversation can evolve. Ever grow Sorghum?

    Pretty new to gardening... help? Tons of questions

    Howdy redneck You are a new gardener up in washington. May I make some suggestions? Start by planting things that are easy to grow and that also give you an idea about how some of the more difficult things grow. Kales and Mustards and sprouting Broccolis will probably be good to grow for...

    Top Secret Garden plot

    I'll google that up right away about whether or not black and rasp berries can be planted together. My first guess about it might be that the more wild blackberries tolerate diseases better and carry rusts and viruses tolerating them that would spread to the more domesticated raspberries that...

    Top Secret Garden plot

    Rhoda_Bruce, you never ate a Raspberry? But have had blackberries? Raspberries have a milder and a sweeter flavor. Less of that sharpness. I like both. Actually blindfolded, hmm, I think I'd usually be able to tell the difference. There is a soft firmness to them. If you ever go to town to shop...

    How many folks grow some plants and don't tell anyone? I just read about a person not telling anyone about their Asparagus plot! I understand the thinking. "Mine minemine all MINE" I've never done it, but I sure wish I could have a top secret raspberry thicket somewhere. While everyone else...

    Anyone paying for firewood this year? If so, how much?

    I bought a small Stihl Chainsaw, MS180c. That is a small one, but very high quality. Uses the skinny chain, 16" bar. I bought an extra chain, a small can for the fuel mix, with the nice pour spout with the on button for pouring, and bar oil, plus the extra guarantee that comes with also...

    I need someone to explain elctricity to me.

    It'd be nice if some of the gadgets "The Professor" on Gilligan's island made really worked. That bamboo bicycle generator might do a trickle charge for batteries. That'd be about it. Oh, maybe it could work a small LED light. Ya know, one of these modern bicycles all geared right might be the...

    Dawn, is that Evening Shade a town in Arkansas? What a cool name! Just guessing, but are there old timers around there with their very own varieties of Okra or Cowpea Beans? Or maybe Collards? On facebook I met a gal with family from Kentucky. Sure enough, they had their very own family...

    I forgot to answer your question. There is no electricity available here in the park. There is no electric grid up here. Nearest grid electricity is 15 miles away as the raven flies. I like it that way. On the other hand, there is also no cell phone service up here. Mine collects dust. The folks...

    Howdy farmerchick I am a single I guess what might be called "hermit" type guy, and I do without what a lot of folks would require. The propane stove/oven is very cheap and simple, and looks like any gas stove, white enamel, lightweight sheetmetal. Very cheap. The propane refrigerator is also...

    You can go off the electrical grid right away Cheerio. If you go with the small generator plan with big batteries, get a bigger inverter than these little 1500 watt ones. I'm realizing that the 1500 watt inverter is for a beginner. These little honda generators cost over a thousand clams...
