I'll have to check out that issue! <BR/><BR/>I think your idea sounds great! You may increase your chances of success by spreading a few bags of compost where you want to plant. If you want to obliterate the grass completely then I recommend a lasagna style garden which I will be happy to fill you in on .

I borrowed the Feb/Mar issue this morning from the branch on E. Ridge (the Cooper Rd. may have it). There was a great article about an urban homesteader which reminded me of this post.<BR/><BR/>The story was really inspiring. Our side yard has a big, old tree and we have lots of shade. The grass only wants to grow in parts away from the tree and this article has inspired me to let the grass grow (it's fenced and not visible to anyone else), plant a ton of wildflower seeds and transplant our seeds that are in pots now once the danger of frost is over...<BR/><BR/>I want to see if I can do that, too :)Karley Ziegler Motthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603382864950531010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-62628591050230874592009-03-04T23:14:00.000-05:002009-03-04T23:14:00.000-05:00So Cool!

I may even make one for my mom too! <BR/><BR/>I love the idea of the Victory Gardens and think it's an idea that is way overdue!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725324685109415066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553381271462319984.post-82857499734812360262009-03-04T09:24:00.000-05:002009-03-04T09:24:00.000-05:00I love my homemade Earth Boxes.

Even if you have to buy totes, they will be under $10. <BR/>http://www.josho.com/gardening.htm<BR/><BR/>I wish we would all get back to the Victory Garden mindset. I wonder how much worse it will have to get before people consider it?Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896941341075639503noreply@blogger.com
