Grow your own herbs
Herb gardening is easy and you are sure to have an unlimited supply of really natural flavorings. Grow your own herbs and use the freshest herbs possible when cooking.
Grow vegetables in containers
No need for a large garden to get splendid results when growing vegetables. In containers, your crop will be protected from many garden pests, weeds and soil borne illness. It will be well fed, even well watered.
How to create compost
Creating your own compost is easy and provides an excellent natural fertilizer.
Dealing with pests
Where there are edible vegetables, there are pests. As tiny as insects or mice, as large as deer, when they are around, rabbits and other rodents like to eat what you grow, often destroying your vegetable garden.
