I used to have an earth box. This looks like an pretty version of that. I am a big fan of anything that helps people get into gardening and have success. This is just the ticket…

The Organic Tomato Success Kit in Terra Cotta. The Gardner’s Supply Company’s Our Tomato Success Kits have helped thousands of gardeners from beginners to experts grow big crops of delicious tomatoes. They recently improved the kits by using all organic growing medium and fertilizer. Field tests prove that tomatoes grown in these success kits out-produce garden-grown plants by 30% or more, with fewer disease and pest problems. The kits include everything you need for a bumper crop. The heart of the system is our patented self-watering planter with a 4-gallon reservoir that lets you enjoy self-watering convenience, while your plants receive a steady flow of water and nutrients all season long. A strong, rust-resistant steel support cage clips on to prevent plants from toppling. Also included are 40 quarts of OMRI-certified Organic Self-Watering Container Mix, 1 lb. of our Organic Tomato Fertilizer, and a sheet of red plastic mulch to speed ripening and help boost yields.

I Love Chickens and Chickens Love Me!

Don't buy a rooster unless you own ear plugs

So, contrary to the wishes of the wife, I am looking for chickens. I need to build a coop. I can’t decide whether to design and build my own or to seek out some plans. There are lots option no matter which way I decide to go. Some of the products that I am looking at can be found Click Here! and here. The first link has some very interesting plans and drawings…here is a sample…

Chickens are an excellent addition to the backyard organic vegetable garden. I prefer the portable chicken tractor because you can move the Chickens in safety and let them work your garden for you. Putting the chickens where you want them also allows you to put the excellent chicken fertilizer to work for you. Unlike dog poop, chicken poop is an excellent source of fertilizer for your garden. Rotating the chickens through your beds after the growing season gets your earth tilled, weeds and varmints removed, and fertilizes for the next growing season. Put the chickens for work for you. Chickens are inexpensive and easy to care for with a bit of planning. Make sure that you design your coop or tractor so that it is easy to clean. Provide suitable roosting for your chickens and provide privacy for your layers. Chickens also are fun for your children. Chickens are silly. It is almost impossible to watch chickens run around your yard without smiling. Chickens can also improve relations with your neighbors…as long as you don’t get a rooster. Roosters crow all the time. In the morning at dawn, before dawn, as sunset, in the middle of the night. As long as you get chickens (not roosters) your neighbors will be thrilled with the fresh eggs that you give them. How do you know the sex of a baby chicken? I’d leave that to the expert at the beginning. As long as you are familiar with a few terms, you can make sure to get the best chickens for your family. Do not buy straight run chickens. The straight run chickens are just selected based upon the order they hatch and are not sexed. You just get a grab bag of boys and girls. You probably know that baby chickens are called chicks. They are not called boy chicks and girl chicks. Cockerels are baby roosters (boys) and pullets are baby chickens (girls). Your local farmers cooperative probably sells chicks. Just make sure they are sexed. Also, depending how many chicks you want, you can order them off of the interest and have them delivered UPS to your door. Pretty cool! Lastly, your local extension service can tell you how to locate a chicken producer near you. Get some chickens, raise them right, and add them to your organic vegetable garden today! Your family will be thrilled!

This is a good looking coop here! Chicken palace…

Three Different Places to get Fish Emulsion..Go Figure

Organic Vegetable Gardening with Fish Emulsion on Tomato

Organic Vegetable Gardening with Fish Emulsion on Tomato

So my tomato plants, which I planted too early [because I am a thrill seeker, impatient, and suffer from attention deficit disorder], are already mad. They tell me they need nitrogen. How did they tell me? You may be thinking that I am bit touched in the head. You know hearing the plants talk to me and all. No No No au contraire… the lower leaves were yellow. Easy diagnosis. First I looked at them in search of bugs…no bugs. So they must need nitrogen.

Being the good, diligent aspiring organic gardener that I am, off I went in search of fish emulsion. First my local hardware store (shout out to Hillsboro Hardware on 21st avenue in Nashvegas) tells me that they only carry the powdered now because the people in the Belmont Hillsboro complained about the smell. I complained that I wanted the stinky stuff.

Then, due to the children talking nonstop interfering with the successful operation of my synapses, we went to the big box of the despot. No Joy! Then, in a fit of inspiration, the daddy thinks of the All Seasons Garden and Brewing Center. The hippie dippy organic joint. The first time I tried to patronize the establishment, I could not find my destination. Another moment of inspiration later, Sprint Navigation has an animated map up and an annoying voice giving me lovely directions to my destination some 2.7 miles hence.

Oh joy, fish emulsion…click me!. It is stinky stuff but does provide the most accessible nitrogen for your plants. The concentrate goes far. I got a gallon for about $20.00 US.

My tomatoes look a bit happier today though you can still see the yellow from the nitrogen deficit.
