RE: The In-House Gardener
I had no idea about keeping ants, mice and mosquitoes away! Hot damn, looks like I'm going to start some mint! I wonder if it would fare OK in a container. I refuse to let it take over my new property!

I can't express how amazing this video is!! I'm so inspired! How long do you need to leave the wire on for before you can remove it?

RE: The In-House Gardener
I've had the opposite experience in the past! I planted some mint seeds, and then it took over the yard! Thankfully, it's a problem for someone else now, as my family has moved on LOL! What type of lighting

Thanks for sharing! Really eye opening for me seeing this! Really! I have a very different life than what you have! Just know that you are living in what other people (including me) would consider paradise!

RE: Giving You An Idea How To Cut A Barrel In Half! So You Can Grow In The Barrel Halves.
I'm tempted to do the IBC tote aquaponic set up this summer. So tempted. Only problem is that I would have to do it outdoors, so I would have to harvest all the fish and shut the system down in the fall.

RE: Sweet potato vine: a well-travelled food
I'm going to have to be far more diligent in my garden waste, ensuring that I am composting only things that aren't desirable to consume ourselves!

RE: Microgreens, Missouri Weather, and Urban Composting Experiment Update!
I think you just changed my life! I'm sure I can find a spot on my property to let them dry out and then use them as brown material in compost. I'm considering getting into worm composting to speed up

Gotta love these retired old guys! I'm not sure how much longer my dad will be retired. It's been less than a year, and it looks like he is going to do a start up company with a friend! Until then, maybe

RE: Giving You An Idea How To Cut A Barrel In Half! So You Can Grow In The Barrel Halves.
Have you ever thought of trying barrelponics? Its aquaponics, but re-purposing barrels instead! Do you have anymore barrels to use? How many times can I say barrels in a single comment? LOL

RE: Microgreens, Missouri Weather, and Urban Composting Experiment Update!
You say fresh... does that mean if I let it brown up in a pile somewhere on the property I could eventually use it as brown material? Is it similar to fresh leaves that turn into leaf mold? I read up on

Loved your post! Mixing in a bit of history is inspiring! Have to ask: you say this is a sweet potato vine, but don't mention anywhere that people eat the root---the potato---of the plant? Where I am,

Is Bittrex accepting new users yet? I lucked out last fall in getting an account, but my poor brother hasn't been able to get an account yet :/

I have a noob question: are grass clippings considered brown material for compost? I have to find a way to process the grass clippings this spring/summer. I'm sick of paying for the municipality to take

RE: My latest succulent treasure, Tylecodon Buchholzianus
Now I have to ask: what about animals? Is there ever a concern about animals eating poisonous plants? Do they naturally know better? Our property isn't fenced in, and the neighbor's dog sometimes crosses
