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.

Hi all- I would like to order some Cornish X next week, but would prefer to have my mother in law raise them in Prescott rather than in Phx. Anyone know how Cornish X will do in cooler weather up in Prescott?

So I cooked the first of the rabbits we processed last week. Fried it like chicken. What went wrong is I have never fried chicken and I cooked it too long resulting in rubber rabbit so I popped it into the crockpot for three hours and it was divine…
I was just reviewing John Jeavon's book How to Grow More Vegetables and in it he mentions planting Mexican marigold (Tagetes minuta) for controlling nematodes.
Hi Brittany,
Now is sure the time to be making Kombucha since it's been gone off the shelves for a few months now. I so miss it! I hope and pray that the issues get resolved and it comes back.
I've had some really good success with making Kombucha…
