What can I do to speed up the process in my compost pile? Does not help that it froze over winter and sat dormant.

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

What happens when you make the diameter of a squirter smaller (does it go farther, does it go smaller), and why does it happen? Is it because of the increased pressure, or is it because of increased velocity coming out of the hose? I’ve always wondered.

Our soil in TN is horrible for growing vegetables and I’ve been told next year to try and mix compost 12″ deep with peat moss and this should help?

Whether it’s the light stuff, like weeding, or more involved activities like mowing or heavy pruning, do you prefer to do it yourself or pay a gardener to do it?

I know what types of foods they grew, I’m just curious about the actual technique. Is anyone aware of anything besides the “Three Sisters Garden” technique?

Looking for an organic gardening book that you can recommend to learn more about pesticide-free gardening.

I toook it on around 14 and im now 17.

Through many years experience I have found the last frost occurs three days after I plant tomatoes.
Seriously I learned this from my dad. Check for the last average frost date in your area, wait two days after the next full moon. A cold front usually occurs with a full moon.
Trust me – it works.
