Kate E replied to Marcia's discussion 'Cats & other animals in your garden'

Do you know what kind of trap your friend uses?

Kate E replied to James's discussion 'depth of a raised bed'

Salt treated wood contains arsenic, so is not a good choice...our water has much higher than normal arsenic levels from sawdust resulting from our recent construction boom....not good

September 6

Kate E replied to Cherylfah's discussion 'Can medlar trees be grown in pots?'

Personally I would not cut toe bottom of the pot off, the roots will grow into the ground and then be ripped up when you moved the tree-not good for the plant!

Kate E replied to Roxy's discussion 'Tomatoes too Close Together'

Where is this other discussion? I am curious about this too.

Kate E replied to Marian Worley's discussion 'Checking in on your tomatoes!'

I like them in veggie pasta dishes-drain the oil (it's great for sauteing onions, garlic, etc) cut them into bite sized pieces and saute with anything-squash, beans, greens, onions-whatever you have. Yummy!

Kate E replied to Michelle W. Flannery's discussion 'What Native American Planting Methods Are You Using or Want to Use?' in the group Native American Heritage Group

I don't have corn, but I do use fish carcases whenever I have them. I bury them about 1- 1.5 feet down and cover them well with leaves before I re-bury the hole with the soil. I have dogs, cats racoons and opossum and have never had a problem with...

I don't eat turnip greens but some people use them in a mixture of other leaves i;e.mustard, fenugeri ,spinach and turnip greens.These leaves are collected when very young, the variety is also different.
