Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Backyard Lumberjack]

When it comes to gardening, I have been cursed with a black thumb. Thankfully, if I don't tamper with my wifes efforts then we do alright. We usually put in lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes. All the makings for a good sandwich (add bacon as needed).

anyone... i say, anyone... can become an overnite Master Gardner with ease. just read and apply! bullet-proof!!

I don't know about you guys, but I encounter vines very often when I'm out with the saws. I've had some hair raising experiences with them.... This story by Cotontop about Nuts319 on YouTube will lead me to be even more careful...

My septic field is 3' below grade I wouldn't worry about it, but it doesn't do that much for the grass on it either.

no harms from mine. but my duty service mite be lighter than some of yours...

All I can say after theses posts is raw crap and keep it off ur boots.

fixed it for you!!

People use horse crap, cow crap, chicken crap, pig crap and all other kinds of crap in their gardens for fertilizer.

historically, in times past... all TMI comments used as fertilizers.... and one source quite up on the subject stated in one issue of their publication... direct from some ag related university profs...

ferts types/source matter not, as plant can only them in one condition. quantity can matter, though!

however, i insist my pups do not get a leg up on my garden!!! lol

When my kids were little I took out my 800 square foot raised bed garden so there was a good flat and fenced area for them top play. After they grew up I put a vegetable garden back in. This time it was in frames and had about 120 square feet of planting area. I got compost from the municipality and completely filled the 18" deep beds. Over time as the compost broke down I added more compost from my own pile... which I've had for 28-30 years. It's been easy to maintain and being all compost it feeds the plants well and holds just the right amount of moisture. I gave my son one of the frames this past year and have about 90 sq feet left. I primarily plant stuff for chili... various types of peppers and tomatoes. One whole bed is for green beans... they keep well in the freezer. That is a whole lot different from 25 years ago when I had 20+ different things in the garden. Keeping it simple now...

Yeah, probably a rear tire for a 97' Kawasaki Ninja or some frickin' thing way back in the corner that no one else can see.

I've had some fun/interesting experiences with vines myself .
I heard about Pete, thanks for the video, I was hoping someone would share about it.

Speaking of safety...
