[ediblecontainergardens] Newbie to the group..

Hi there! My name is Tammy and I'm a new addition to the group.

I've been dreaming of turning the garden plot in our backyard into an actual
garden instead of a weed bed since we moved in 3 years ago, but health
issues and

A lengthy hospital stay this year (9 ½ months so far) has put that off.
We're looking at possibly putting in raised beds around the perimeter so
that I can still maneuver

Around when I get home if I'm not able to walk on my own steam. In the
meantime I'm planning an herb garden and patio planters, and I thought your
group looked

Interesting so I've been reading for the last few days.

I have been bitten by the gardening bug way out of season I think. Found a
few plant/seed swap groups and have been getting pretty jazzed about the
whole planning

Process. Now I just wish Spring would come so I can get out and get my
hands dirty J

I look forward to reading, and learning and of course getting to know you
all.

I'm in Cardinal, Ontario – Zone 5.

Cheers!

Tammy

Re: [ediblecontainergardens] "Back to Basics" is back in print

I have seen something like this book on shelves...But I bought mine used online...I know from having read various editions that it changes over the years to keep in toe with changing technology around building techniques and energy.  So, it might be best to look for a newer edition "used" online.  The one I have is a Reader's Digest edition and it's a great introduction to a wide variety of self-sufficiency concerns. 

I, myself, would not use it solely to say, build a house, grow crops or husband animals..etcetera.

Re: [ediblecontainergardens] Reuse of soil????

I do this all the time.  I add a bit of good mulch to it, some manure, coffee grounds stir it occasionally and water it occasionally.  I may be doing it wrong, but it seems to be working because I've had an amazing amount of tomatoes from the mix three years running now.  I leave mine uncovered.

My two cents,
Linda in Ca

[ediblecontainergardens] Re: book

I'm still reading the book. I can give an opinion by the end of the
week.

Just so you know Sandra - there is no add a link button for me either.

I noticed that several of you recommend this book, but to be honest,
when I saw it in a bookstore, I didn't like it. It seemed to be all
about sprouting, and not much else.

Did I miss something?
