Re: Mel Ortho Tomato Lettuce Plan FFruit Trees Bushes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I was just giving a picture of my rock/weed patch :-). Because of my
physical limitations I can't weed. I do know that the red rock & ground
cover help hold the moisture. So sucessive crops of weeds & old plant stems
just wither away and eventually compost themselves. The soil underneath
seems good -- I've 2 tomato plants that are still blooming & bearing. But
the idea of a source of containers and terracing them on shelves made of my
existing materials was new for me. And hold promise of some order in the
chaos. The deeper rooted plants can benefit from a collar (part of a bucket)
right on the ground. The whole patch is about 12' X 20' which includes a
toolshed. And around the edges, in between the Wandering Jew are dreadnaught
Geraniums which remind me of tenacity & perseverance.

And that wandering Jew, was healping your soil stay moist.
It readily decomposes, and is easy to pull.  It's not a
terrible weed!  Just a weed.  But also a ground cover

>Oh, WOW, Dawn!
    You just widened my horizons! My yard is a miserable gravel
patch covered with the last tenant's red crushed rock and
subversive "Wandering Jew" vines. But 5 gal. buckets from the bakery or
deli -
wonderful!
