new vegetable Plot

Well Grandpa Bob, you may want to consider Craigslist, my husband bought one from there for about a third of the price of a new one..and he is rototilling everything in sight. He did a big old garden and 1/2 of the dogs yard and is reseeding it...before that he dug by hand...now he is a rototilling maniac.

Thats what i got married for so i dont have to do the hard work. Why do you think my house has been getting painted room by room cause im pregnant and cant paint so its the best time for painting to be done hehehehe.

Well, when it comes to gardening and such, since I have been an Adult, I have always lived places that had a small garden there where you could plant something, and just had to worry about the weeds and such while you had something growing there. So this has never been an issue. But we are in the process of trying to get our Condo we are in now for Sale, and buy something else. We will probably have to do it ourself if we get something again where we have some land. But since it will not be that big of a place, it will not be too big of a garden. But if I were in a situation such as you, I would try and find someone cheap I could hire to do it for me, so it would be a lot easier on you. Just my thoughts.

Nope, we have no tiller... We did the first year we moved here, but it broke down and could never afford another one..You are braver than I, though I have started my own place to start my berry bushes, I have not done plots like that..I do, however, have a plot that was made by this square sheeting that was in the yard and my husband wouldn't move..When he finally did, it made a perfect spot to plant my strawberries..All I had to do was break up the ground a little, all the grass was already gone.

don't overdue it then just take it a step at a time and you will be surprised how it all gets done. I usually dig by hand but my plot is not very big at all so it is more managable for me but I could not grow some sorts of vegetables every year my greatest pleasure

When I was on the farm we had a tiller, then the first few years of our marriage we had our own house we bought a tiller.oh whatatiller we had a spot about the size you mentioned and my husband insisted I could till it myself oh yeah,right? me the klutz,well he explained in terms which went over my head then made me press a button and that thing took off like a guided rocket and I was flying along behind it, I swear one foot was off the ground. Allthe time he was yelling something i could not hear over the noise of the tiller and finally 'I hit the right button and got it stopped. Myhusband and his neighbor were both standing there laughing at me,and I said to my hubby,after the last time you told me how easy the new mower was,you would think I wouldv'e learned.but oh no. they laughed some more so I just banged into the house where I could not hear them.

Hi Grandpa Bob, Just be careful and don't do too much work, will you? we have herbal medicine for asma broncial, try to drink black tea/Ou Tea (made from Camelia chinensis leaves)if you find in your stores 4- 5 times a day one cup, you will find the result in 5 days.I hope Happy planting Grandpa Bob!

An easy way to kill all the vegetation in an area for flower/vege beds is placing clear plastic over the area and weighing it down with something. Leave it for a few weeks during the warm months and the heat from the sun will kill any and all seeds in that area down to a few inches underground. Obviously you will want to do this maybe the fall b4 so it's completely ready for planting when the temps warm back up in the spring unless you plan to plant in the fall.

I couldn't do that type of theing even if I wanted to sweetheart! My grandad used to and he did a lot by hand when he was well in his 70's - then he got a manual rotavator and never used it! lol It is hard work AGB so please promise a little at a time! xxx

I use a garden spade. It is the shovel with a flatish square end. It makes it very easy to sit on your but and use your legs to remove the soil. For my own growing areas I will personally shovel and turn all of the soil. Then apply amendments. Next I will till it 4 or 5 times to make sure it is mixed very well. The sod is good for the compost pile as well as filling areas of your lawn.

this year I decided to make a small garden to show my 2 year old what comes from plants. We just have a barrel sort of pot but its pretty big. We have more stuff in there then we should and when we tell people whats in there they laugh but I can't wait to see her face when something grows and she is able to pick it and eat it. We planted cucumber, tomatoes which was an accident, peppers, all types of herbs and lemon grass. The herbs were more for my hubby then for my daughter. We already have some little flowers on some of the plants and a very tiny cucumber growing.

I wish you luck and please be careful! When we first moved into our house, the yard didn't have much grass, so we decided to break up the ground and plant grass seed. We didn't have a tiller, we used the garden claw which took us a few days and that was really hard work. I have a bad back already but after we finished I couldn't hardly walk for several days.

My husband has a very small Mantis tiller that is perfect for small areas, so no, I don't have to do it by hand. I wish I could dig up part of the yard to put in more vegetables, but since I'm renting (and the landlord is next door), I can't do that. The moles are tilling it up anyway!

We used a tiller last year but aren't going to be able to this year, so I am gong to dig each individual hole for each plant and then start placing all of my old newspapers around to keep the weeds away.. I can also take any of the extra grass clippings and use them to help keep control of the weeds.. But I do really need to get started very soon..

I think you have done a great job!!! Recently there are nearly no one bother doing these kind of things. You make me wanna do the same thing after I have bought my own house~~

you are really a stubborn man plus i think you really know how to enjoy your life you do your gardening all by your hand that incredble sometimes i want to devote the nature but i cant i have found i am lost
