Plant Spacing Grid, We,Jake, Maggie & Myself Use a piece of Concrete Wire Mesh with 6x6 holes We have made a 2' wide by 4' long 32 plant/seed spacing grid, It worked great on the Onion Set Spacing (all 800 of them). The Twins and You know who love this grid. Placed on the top of our Rows and Raised Beds We knew exactly where to set the Onion Sets. We will also be making one for a 4" spacing using 2" x 4" welded wire for our carrot 4" spacing, Other Grids will be made as needed. I know some of you just plant straight and neat as possible being thankful you got it done, I use too. The Twins Wanted to help set out the Onion sets. The Grid was an Idea to keep their planting in the Rows and it worked. I new I needed something, See turning two 6 year olds loose without direction to set out 800 onion sets without a grid would have been a crying cuss-fess (whoops no cussing). Ps the Grid works great for our lettuce too , It really makes planting Fast, the guess and measure is done.

Do you think it would be possible to grow cukes/ cantalopes on a grid like in the 1st picture? To keep them off the ground I mean. |

That's not a picture of the planting Grid we use, that picture was posted and I couldn't remove it, The first picture is our row cover for Mr Jack Frost, we open our tomato cage (11 squares concrete wire) to make row covers, Whoops. When spring comes we pick up wire and retie set over tomatoes, cucumbers and pole beans, We will be using the grid this weekend setting more lettuce plants and I will post a better picture, Thanks Guilt Trip Attachments:  |

Hi, I have a garden not too huge but small. I've planted some green chili plants and some tomato plants. I applied some natural fertilizer like cow dung, peals of fruits and vegetable for example. But this is resulted in mosquito, white bees and plant eating worms. Please guide me what is the right way to provide natural fertilizers.  Thanks |

Your natural fertilizer should be completely decomposed before using it in the garden. Your composted materials, leaves, peelings, manure, etc. should look like rich dirt with no odor before applying to your garden. If it's not, it's not "cooked." |
