Wet it down good and it will stay in place and the worms love it. They will come and eat the newspaper and then they will stay in the garden providing much benefit.Bullseyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02549653092867538729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238845739367972246.post-60344488821324033662009-01-06T05:04:00.000+00:002009-01-06T05:04:00.000+00:00Hi Stephanie!I'll likely just let the melons wande...Hi Stephanie!<BR/>I'll likely just let the melons wander... the gerden is a slightly raised bed(one cinder block0 and spillover into the surrounding grass shouldn't hurt. I may do some of the other vines-- beans esp.-- in pots near the fence; give me more veggies and use the fence to support trellising...<BR/>Good luck with your vines, and all your garden! i can hardly wait either!!<BR/><BR/>Hey Ashley! i'll be using a space-saving method "developed" by Jon Jeavons called Biointensive (aka French something-or-other), along with companion planting. Utilizes the 4'-5' width i have; no traditional "rows", and a much more natural look. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the visit folks!<BR/><BR/>C.Cygnus MacLlyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501567755613392501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238845739367972246.post-76077612478572510522009-01-06T03:17:00.000+00:002009-01-06T03:17:00.000+00:00You should look into "Square Foot Gardening".

I haven't had a chance yet (no place for a garden) but soon I hope to build something based on that model but a bit portable that I can take with me when I move my RV around.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>AshleyNokihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856143453343678103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238845739367972246.post-6559510125988617802009-01-06T03:16:00.000+00:002009-01-06T03:16:00.000+00:00We have had very good luck with the contender bean...We have had very good luck with the contender beans. Are you going to grow the watermelons on a trellise or just let them wander? This will be the first year we could think about planting anything very viney & can't wait.Stephanie in ARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117946992633230458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238845739367972246.post-86239597634015943732009-01-05T15:00:00.000+00:002009-01-05T15:00:00.000+00:00Hey nephew...I can taste that fresh salad already!...Hey nephew...I can taste that fresh salad already!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238845739367972246.post-6264213232167335362009-01-05T12:14:00.000+00:002009-01-05T12:14:00.000+00:00well lazy, i ain't growin' corn! ha! with you on t...well lazy, i ain't growin' corn! ha! with you on that one; too much teeth-picking necesasry [EW!]my seeds list stands thus:<BR/>bib lettuce<BR/>spinach<BR/>sweet banana peppers<BR/>onions<BR/>squash (yellow straightneck)<BR/>okra<BR/>beans- contender bush variety<BR/>buttercup squash<BR/>watermelon<BR/><BR/>these are the seeds in my lap, literally, as of the moment. come payday i'll add a few varieyies of tomatoes, a cucumber or two (hate 'em raw, but LOVE pickles...) and gods know what else... i'm like a kid in a cand.. oh, wait; that phrase is already spoken for...

We always had a huge garden as kids (couple of acres anyway) and I miss some of the fresh food. It's just not the same from the grocery stores - especially tomatoes, lettuce, and greenbeans. Not a fan of corn though. Hehe. What are you growing?Lazy Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05453870048030029061noreply@blogger.com
