Members LAF Posted February 7, 2004 Members Share Posted February 7, 2004 Riding one of those new zero-turn-radius lawn mowers if money was no object ok a flower garden or a vegtable garden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted February 7, 2004 Members Share Posted February 7, 2004 [quote] a flower garden or a vegtable garden [/quote] I put both veggies and flowers in the same plot. By using a technique known as companion planting, we can ward off a lot of noxious insect pests. E.G. marigolds are very attractive, and will repel the cabbage worm butterfly. Zinnias, Calendulas, Tansy, citronella, just to name a few others, are also very effective. Do you prefer root veggies, OR above-ground types?

Members LAF Posted February 7, 2004 Members Share Posted February 7, 2004 I think above ground I love Tomatoes and squash and zuccini and peppers Fresh veggies or frozen veggies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted February 7, 2004 Members Share Posted February 7, 2004 Fresh veggies in the summer time, and frozen veggies in the winter time. Pulling weeds and hoeing to achieve the look of clean cultivation. --OR-- "Carpeting" your entire garden with mulch. Just fold the weeds over, and apply thick layers (about eight to ten inches) of hay or straw right on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pneu-engine Posted February 7, 2004 Members Share Posted February 7, 2004 Both, in my younger years. Mulching your garden. Do you prefer::: Straw or spoiled hay, --OR-- Grass clippings and/or any kind of vegetation that's available for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LAF Posted February 8, 2004 Members Share Posted February 8, 2004 Grass clippings and/or any kind of vegetation that's available for free. I like free things yard sales or flea markets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pneu-engine Posted February 8, 2004 Members Share Posted February 8, 2004 [quote] I like free things [/quote] :) :D :) :D My sentiments exactly. :) :D One time I was driving down the road that was two days after a cloudburst thunderstorm. I saw a farmer's field where he didn't get his bales of hay all brought to the barn in time. They were just sitting in the field getting nice and moldy and mildew-ed. I asked him how much he wanted, and he GAVE them to me. There were over one hundred bales in that field. What a mulching good time I had that year. :lol: :D :) Flea markets. Do you plant squash, pumpkins, cucumbers, cantalopes, etc. in the same area with the corn, --OR-- Do you prefer to plant them in their own separate patch?
