My Mother lives in an area where the soil isn’t that good. So she has about 10 or 12 pools in her back yard with her garden it in. We love this idea because we can control it better, living in Arizona it can be a challenge to get almost anything to grow. I live on a military base and because we have to stay mobile we have just one smaller 4 foot pool and the rest of the garden is in pots. Glad to see someone else is using this idea!

Ugghhh! We have garden thieves! The super cute furry and feathered kind! So far the critters have been having a “field day” in my box gardens Its funny, I never saw a chipmunk in my yard until the strawberries started to ripen. Now little Chip or Dale has my berries in his belly and I’m just sad. The birds are pecking away the broccoli and collards. HELP!!!!!!!!

love your site, reminds me of mom’s cookin

A twist on your garden in 20 minutes: See the picture with the bag of potting soil cut open?.. stop there, just make an X on it, plug in a plant, and poke a hole or two in the bottom of the bag for drains. I rented a cottage once and had a garden like that on the stone driveway. At end of season, pull out the plants, shake out the dirt, throw away the bags and move on The Brit’s call this ‘bag gardening’.

Hey Wesley!

When I was looking the Athens Wal Mart and the Wal Mart in Madison were both out. I found plenty at the Wal Mart on 72, over near Madison Square Mall. Also, many Dollar Generals have the small size. The Dollar General Market on Old Madison Pike in Madison has them inside the store. I’m going to email this information to you as well so I make sure you get it!

Gratefully,
Christy
