I want to start my plants from seeds and cannot find a site that does not offer idiotic things like seed warmers, intricate seed planting bulb crap etc. I am just a down to earth do it myself kind of person. I first attempt failed miserably (mold, gnats, spindly plants). Any ideas?
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
My husband planted regular and garlic chives in the garden this year (my first experience with fresh chives) and I was wondering the best way to dehydrate them. I cut them, put them on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven at 250 degrees for 4 hours but that did’t seem to do the trick.
Thanks for your time and your help.
What is best to plant in a home garden? Keep in mind it is not huge and we would like to plant things that will take up the least amount of space but yield a nice harvest. So I guess I could ask, what plants give you the most bang for you buck?
What are your thoughts?
Any recommendations?
I’m gonna try to start a garden soon that has fruits and vegetables. So I need 1 book that has both fruits & vegetables, meant for beginners with a good overview, procedures and methods, variety of produce, etc etc. Thanks!

I have a small garden pond that has algae in it. How can I keep it clean with the least amount of chemical usage and cost? I have a few goldfish, plants and a waterfall to keep the water moving.
I want to make a garden in pots/bed. I dont have enough lawn to make one in the ground, so I need tips on how to make one in containers. Like whats the best vegetables to grow, how to make it thrive, etc. Thanks!
I am attempting a garden for the first time, and am unsure of the best spot to plan it. Our house block much of the sun in our yard, so the best spot is at the bottom of a small slope where the water runoff passes, leaving the ground almost always saturated and soft. I planned on building a bit of a raised bed. Is this a good spot to plan my garden or not? I watched a few videos online and one said it would be a good spot, but I wanted to be sure.
Thanks in advance!
