I’m documenting my first attempt at creating a no-till garden using the “Lasagna” buy generic levitra gardening method. I’ve been a long time fan of square foot gardening in raised beds, and am looking forward to incorporating succession planting into this buy Ampicillin type of garden as well. Many people use newspapers as a first layer instead of cardboard, but for me, it was easier to gather and use cardboard. I was western Cialis union ohio akron careful to remove staples and any plastic packing tape on the boxes. Stay tuned for updates on how the garden amoxicillin does levitra on line as the summer progresses.

    @bahamalesster — I added top soil. I think it was a good decision. This year, (this vid is from last year), it’s obvious the soil in the beds is much better.

  2. VivianRinSC - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Most of it is pretty composted already, I’ll rake off the top part to get to what I want to use in the beds. Chicken poop is very high in nitrogen and can’t be used directly without composting unlike a horse’s which can be used as top dressing so it surprised me to hear you had problems with yours. Had you just used a dewormer?
    I read and research alot and have a very productive garden in the past but I’m always learning that it’s not a set hard and fast thing. So many variables to be aware of.

    YOU SHOULD PLANT THEM AS IT.Great video !

  4. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    How soon are you planning on using the beds? I ask because chicken poo tends to be quite hot — I’d want to compost it for at least a few months before planting anything on top of it. I think I had some problems even with the horse manure I put on the Fall before.

    Also, I’m using this method for my raised beds. Today, I hope to get two 4×4 beds covered with cardboard at the bottom and later cover with chicken droppings and hay from their bedding.

    I also have that creepy-icky feeling when I see a worm. Love them in my garden but want them to stay out of sight. lol. I don’t think anyone else commented but that 3rd tool is called a garden rake. I could be wrong but it’s what I call mine. lol.

    comfrey is good for colds if i remember right…nice garden beds!

  8. 1fanger - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Hi, I did something like you did. I`d say not to turn it over. Just plant your transplants in the mulchy mix. For sowing seed, just fashion a trench in the mulch, and put compost or soil in the trench and sow your seed in that. Keep adding lots of organic stuff into your bed all year. It never stops. Luck to ya!

    Nice garden! those worms are your best friend when it comes to great soil. they eat dead vegetation and leave behind great nutrients.
    The planets best soil engineer is the mighty Earth Worm.

  10. Wivanunu - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Those worms are great! They are going their job!!!

  11. ArboriusOwns - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    The worms are indeed good for the garden the bigger worms dig down about 5 feet and give you drainage and the smaller worms live in the top 2 feet of the soil providing roots room to spread out. Great set up I love your garden.

  12. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Hi Angel,
    I answered you PM — did you get it? In case not — I only used the cardboard on the bottom, then alternating layers of old hay and dry horse poop (no bedding) with a top layer of fall leaves.

  13. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Thank you! I just subbed to your channel too. : ) I am learning about herbs. Any ideas for Comfrey? I have three big plants that I used to give my goats and rabbits leaves (heard it was good for them), but what about people?

  14. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    No way I’m making a dehydrate video — I bow to the master dehydrator!!!! Besides, I’d have to clean my kitchen waaayyy to much to make a video there. Ha ha. : )

  15. HomesteadProvocateur - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Superb!! I’m going to comment on your second vid when I see what progress you’ve made there.

  16. MyQuest4Health - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    That looks like a WONDERFUL bed both of them to plant in.. wow..
    I am trying my first lg bed this year as well.. i hope mine turns out as great as yours!! what else did you add to the piles?

  17. Dehydrate2store - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Hi Michigansnowpony,
    Yes, you can make lemonade. And I think you should do the next video on how to make lemonade with dehydrated lemons. I could use a little help here. I promise I will be your number one fan.

    Now lets see some lemonade!
    Tammy

  18. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Thanks Tammy — I’m a goofball. For me to try to do a serious, professional video would be like trying to have Rosie O’Donnell pitch slimfast. : ) I am looking forward to YOUR next video — hint hint she says sipping tea with a dehyrdrated lemon slice in it. . . Hey, can you make lemonade with the dehyrdrated lemons? As much as they flavor the tea, I’m thinking one could very easily. (There — your next video topic) ha ha

  19. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Thank you — That’s very kind of you to say!
    I am anxious to make part II, as I’ve decided to add topsoil to one bed and leave the other one as is to see what happens. Just waiting on hubby to fence the beds in so the chickens don’t undo my planting! Thanks again so much for the encouragement!

  20. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Hi Judy!
    If you put down some old newspaper in your beds, you’ll have worms coming out of your ears. And it will act as mulch too for the weeds. I heard worms like coffee grounds too, but haven’t tried that. P.S. I promise, a horse video is coming. It’s in the works / production.

  21. Michigansnowpony - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Hi Ken,
    I know they’re good for the soil, but I just squirm when I see them. I can’t help it.
    I have a love-hate thing with worms! After I saw your beautiful garden, I almost wanted to scrap my video! But, I thought maybe someone with limited space for a garden like I have would benefit, so . . .

  22. mishushina - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Congratulations! is the best video I ever seen!!!!
    very educational… I am learning about gardening
    Best wishes :o )

  23. Dehydrate2store - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am

    Hi Michigansnowpony,
    Your a natural and such a fun personality. Great Job! I’ve got you on my favorites. Looking forward to your next video.
    Tammy

  25. centervilletn - July 28th, 2010 at 2:13 am
