Because this is such an interdependent community I am learning the joys of nearly free gardening. My husband brings home empty wood machine crates we break down and recycle into raised garden beds. We get free composted manure from a local dairy and we kitchen compost. I buy a few seeds each year and a couple of plants and also have a net work of friends whom I trade starts with. There is a sizable Master Gardener program, and I take advantage of the local university extension office. In food growing terms we are pretty lucky here. Pretty mild winters but massive quantitys of rain. Also the wind is a huge obstacle at times. I am interested in medicinal and healing herbs and am focusing on my collection and their uses. I am a spiritual gardener, still very new at it but learning tons each year!!!!! Quote \| Reply \| Report
