Ready made raised beds, looks pretty cool but pricey. Don't know if there is a local source for them and how much just the wattles cost. They're recycling rice straw from Ca. for them now instead of burning the straw after harvest which is a good thing.

Actually there is a local company that sells them for 18.98. They are 25' with a 9" diameter. I am thinking of getting them for my school garden project. It is going to take a couple of years to turn our dirt into soil and this allows the instant gratification needed to keep tweeners interested when starting out.

Actually very little of the California rice fields are burned any more. The only burning allowed is for disease control and it is carefully monitored before it is allowed to be burned.
Here is a link explaining the program and the benefit of rice farming to wildlife in California.

Very neat indeed. It is very functional for people who are unable to plant directly in the ground due to health reasons. If I had more room, I would be really interested in these.

It is a bit hard for me to believe a dishwasher uses less resources than hand washing, but alas, it's true. I've had a dishwasher in my homes the last 20 years and have almost never used one. Mainly it's just more work for just 2 people. Bending dow…
Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't mean to give anyone the impression that I don't use a dishwasher or microwave to save energy--they just don't fit in well with my family's eating habits. I only mentioned it because a lot of people think I'm…
I've been thinking more about Montse Anderson's comment that maybe I'd waited too late to be planting my potatoes. It occurs to me that perhaps most folks on this site are in the closer-in suburbs of Phoenix. Out here, near Wickenburg, we're well ou…

I think I've seen it at Baker's nursery as well.
You should be able to find all of those at valley feed stores except possibly the faverolles. When I had faverolles I got them from online. Honestly though, I got rid of them because they were LOUD. One of them went to a neighbor and I still hear it…
My dishwasher uses just over 3 gallons of water to clean an entire load. I don't think I could do better than that by hand washing. :)
