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 gr…
Erin, we subscribed to Desert Roots CSA a couple of years ago, don't think they offered meat then but I'll check it out, thanks.
Ken Singh donates huge piles of compost for the Mesa Community College Rose Garden every spring and they sell it in approx. 40lb bags for $4 and will be doing so for the next couple of Saturdays until all the pruning and mulching is done. Handy for…
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 th…

I have not been able to find red clover seeds locally. I have seen Baker Nursery carry flats of plants but that is an expensive way to cover crop a yard. My recommendation is to go to Seeds of Change (I think it is a .com) and have them ship you some. I usually purchase a bulk order and that has covered a front or back lawn for me. If you call the number on their website, they can give some idea of the dimensions but if you are working with an area that is bigger than standard central phx front lawn size, I would opt for a larger bulk order. If you have extra, you can always take them to a seed exchange and trade for something that you don't already have! Good luck and let me know if you have any troubles. Thanks, Heather
