Coconut oil would be a good addition, both for flavor and nutrition.
Check Whitfill Nursery, on Cooper (at Elliot or Guadalupe). Last time I was there, they had them for $25. They told me they pretty much always have them. However, this was probably about a year ago.
I just moved some stepping stones and things from two areas that I'm about to start digging up, and there were lots and lots of earthworms. I'm very excited! I have only seem one earthworm since I've lived here.
Does this mean that my soil is not…
Bananas grow here. I have a couple trees in my yard, but I don't know how they're going to do. The guy who gave them to me has all kinds of tropical friut growing in his yard. It's amazing! A great deal of it is in a greenhouse, but he has lots of b…
Thanks! Full sun will make it easier, since I have plenty of it in the summer.
That link is great!
Everyone I have ever seen had been planted to get full afternoon sun. One had a trellis for the patio covering and grapes were all over that vine
I tried to post this a while ago and it disappeared into cyberspace, so I apologize if it ends up here twice.
I'm trying to find out where to plant my Thompson Seedless grapes, and I'm finding conflicting information. Some places say full sun, som…
LOL Rachel!!!! I have problems with cats using my garden and soil areas for a litter box. If I am not watching my dog like a hawk he can sniff out those tasty morsels and have them gobbled down before I can catch him. I used to be horrified. Now I j…

Cris said… - I love gardening and being outdoors so that alone will be fun for me. I've done the PDC and Desert Landscaper school, and helped others with projects here and there. Do you mind if I take before/after photos? I would like to start a portfolio of work experience.

- If you need more hands-on assistance with your yard I am happy to offer my help. I've done the schooling, but now I need the experience, so we'd be helping each other.

You might want to consider coming to this class on lasagna gardening http://azhomegrownsolutions.ning.com/events/event/show?id=2641034%3AEvent%3A2522
I would hesitate to use grass clippings (because of the likelihood that you'll get bermuda growback) and steer manure depending on if it's aged or not (salts, weed seeds, "hotness").

I didn't get a chance to thank you Doreen but this was VERY informative, a must for all newbies!
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…
Hi Chris - I don't have a PH tester. I've always just added bagged composted mulch, steer manuer and Starbucks grounds to my existing AZ soil to ammend. Some years my spring tomatoes are really good and sometimes not so good. Is there anything in ad…
