. Not the perfect growing medium for a garden. anyway I have a question can you teach a bush-type tomatoes to grow on a string trellis? Oh here's an idea about keeping slugs of you veggies. Take some old (or new) sand paper. Cut a strait line to the middle of the paper and then make a hole. Take the altered sandpaper and put it around the base of the plants you want to keep slugs away from. Slugs hate rough surfaces and they will avoid the paper like the plague.
Happy Gardening Katrina
I've never tried to string up a tomato...but I do cage them...they tend to get floppy if you don't do something!! I love the idea of the slug deterrent paper. It's one of those "why didn't I think of that" neat ideas I never can come up with myself!! I LOVE THIS GROUP!!!
