GardenHacker Podcast (hopefully), number 01 for June 27, 2008

Ok, we're going to attempt to attach a file here as a video podcast. If it works, we'll be adding more as the summer progresses. If it doesn't, we'll change providors and try it again!
 Pictured here is the completed low raised bed with the killer cardboard mulch. We're pitting this with a mixture of "square foot gardening mix" against a tall raised bed filled with "lasagna garden mix". Our first podcast will be about how to make this low raised bed garden.

After fussing around with all the geeky things I can on one cup of GoNomad coffee, I put it up on YouTube. Sometimes you can't fight the better solutions.
Should be able to see it at: or go to YouTube.com and look for GardenHacker

Nary a Nibble... King Harry's Reign to Date

The King Harry potatoes are growing without a problem so far. One little bug like last years that looks like a bird dropping that's nibbled a few holes, but the potato plants are growing beyond expectation.


I'd planted them about two feet apart in a staggered pattern, but I find that they could actually use more room. Currently piling on the mulch that I harvest from the garden to make the harvest easier in the fall. Will be interplanting bush beans (a good companion plant) where space is available.
