Botanicalls for plants is a super new invention. Get a phone call to remind you to water your plants (or that you’ve over-watered them). Sounds crazy, but a group of postgraduate students at New York University are close to having this new technology ready in about 6mths.
Plant botanicalls for plants utilize moisture sensors. When put […]
Welcome back. I mentioned I was going to keep an update on growing tomatoes in containers and I’m happy to report, so far so good. It’s been 3 weeks (we had lots of snow around the 24th of May - so I waited a little longer to plant) since I’d planted both tomatoes in 1) […]
I love the composter. Turning so-called garbage into gold makes it all sound like magic. If you’re not that great with tools to make one, short on yard space or have limited time, I’ve found a great spot that sells the composter at a great price. They also have a tremendous selection of […]
Solar stepping stones are a really neat way to lighten our our impact on earth in more ways than one.
Using solar stepping stones allows us to be guided along our paths, walkways or create illumination in your garden beds too. They’re also great when used to surround your patio.

I’d called around and heres what I’d gotten:…
Potted tomato water doesn’t have to be of any specific mix. You can use water right from your hose, rain barrel or from […]

Growing tomatoes in pots, after a little bit of researching is proving to be an ideal situation for those with limited space and or cooler temperatures. My reasoning has been reinforced since we just got 1 1/2 inches of snow this morning and it’s May 21.
So far, we’ve covered everything up to creating the […]

3) Mix one part of each of the following: a) potting soil b) compost c) perlite d) shagnum peat moss.
4) If you intend to bring them inside on frosty nights to get a […]
Part two of my growing potted tomatoes was my research. If anyone wants to know what zone they are in - don’t bother. It’s a total waste of time. It seems dependent on the “flavor of the year” grading system. If you want a real low down, you can read at length […]
