I’d like to know if it really works. I can’t believe things can grow in just 6″ of his one-third compost, one-third peat moss, and one-third coarse vermiculite. I will try it, but since I live in Mexico, I might have a problem locating coarse vermiculite. Any suggestions?
My neighbor says to use railroad ties but those might not fit with our look in the backyard. I was thinking more along the lines of some 2×6′s that are pre-treated to prevent rotting. Will this affect the chemicals that enter the soil? Are they dangerous? Does anyone have any good links to help with the building and prep work for a new veggie garden?
I’m think of making four 4×4 squares for the garden. Any tips would be great.

My mum’s having this problem, the next door neighbour’s cats keep just coming in our back garden and just parking theirselves and taking a poo. Is there any way I could do something to stop the cats wanting to do this?
Thanks for any replies.

What can I do to speed up the process in my compost pile? Does not help that it froze over winter and sat dormant.
Hedgehogs are good in the garden because they eat all the slugs. I put hedgehogs in my allotement and they keep wandering off. How can i persuade them to stay?
other gardeners tend to be very generous to each other, as i have found since starting plant growing when i was a kid and people donated so much to me. I now return the favor and donate much to others, including plants and advice.
Plants are easily reproduced from cuttings and seeds or by division, allowing you to grow your collection at different times of the year. This way you can expand your range of plants for just a few pennies, such as the cost of hormone rooting products and possibly some potting soil.
Ive often helped others with garden care, such as watering or tending plants when someone is away from home, and grateful people will often repay with some garden material gifts.
Otherwise, if you see plants in someone’s garden that you like, speak to the home owner and ask about them-they may let you have some or at least give you some information about them.
Look on the internet for freecycle type groups that donate old
home goods to others-this way you may pick up garden tools, plants etc for the cost of going to pick them up.
Overall – keep your eyes open for what you see around you and like. Keep talking to others, be willing to share or offer to help. And wise experienced gardeners are great friends to find. If you are near to farmers or others with horses you may be able to get some manure for next to nothing or just free.learn how to reproduce plants that you like and cultivate for low or no cost too. Im often picking up seeds etc in public places that would otherwise go to waste,though ensure you’re not breaking laws.
Hope this helps. Good luck! Rob
