Organic gardens tour - 6/14/24

My gardens are a good example of how you don't need a huge yard to grow LOTS of things! Take advantage of vertical space, use large pots or grow bags if you run out of planting areas. If you rent and just have a small porch grow bags would be perfect as would railing planters.

I use no pesticides in my garden other than occasionally Sluggo. I use only my own organic compost and organic plant foods. Eposma Garden-Tone for the veggies and Berry-Tone for the berry plants. WHAT a difference in my berries since I started using Berry-tone!
