Fertilizing and Pruning Southern and Other Gardens and Trees

[Guest guest]

Butch you are right about the zones. But she and I are both in Zone 8. My worms

are a little slow but thriving and multiplying like rabbits.

 

For those who are in cooler zones, you can dig a shallow ditch (if you can dig

in the ground!) and pour in your blended veggie trimmings, then cover them back

up with dirt or shredded newspaper that is dampened.

 

As for coffee grounds, Starbucks and many other coffee houses will give you all

they can. Saves them dumpster room and makes them feel like they are helping the

environment.

 

You can also feed your worms corn meal. Hopefully you can find some non-GMO corn

meal.

 

The healthier your plants are, the more they will resist disease and

freezing.

brought back a memory from maybe 35 years ago... when we lived in New

England and I had that huge veggie garden... early spring I'd go and thin

out the " salad plants " ... pulling the excess spinach, lettuces, radishes,

etc...all the early plants... and, of course, that would be that evenings

salad...

 

and my kids frequently asked why I made weed salads...

I bet they understand now that weeds make the BEST salads !

My kids understand and even help me a little now.   My 11 year old loves to

help.

 

Thanks for the story Marge !
