One of the top ones was "get manure from a local horse farm. They give it away for free because they do that's the truth trust meh". <br /><br />Where are these urban horse farms? I'm assuming that successful, frugal urban gardeners live in Louisville, KY.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495523689289741162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060792404754788269.post-36727579775199206362012-03-26T12:57:51.201-07:002012-03-26T12:57:51.201-07:00We really need to get one-- our "stock up&quo...We really need to get one-- our "stock up" shopping today was so draining.

Also I think it would work so great up here because I can choose the soil I want to use. Our soil isn't very good...<br /><br />I think you should do it! Those front windows and sills are amazing with all that light.

Take the roll, cut the bottom to fold and seal, then put dirt and seed. Then you can plant the whole thing and it too will decay like the newsprint.

The basic thing I remember from the book was that you really needed to consider raising rabbits because their pellets are an excellent source of fertilizer. Now that I think about it, that kind of sounds like using a fox to guard your henhouse because it has sharp teeth. Maybe I somehow walked into a propaganda box trap set by astute rabbits.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928544923889652541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060792404754788269.post-92036749800249501632012-03-23T07:16:10.458-07:002012-03-23T07:16:10.458-07:00We got a cart like that from IKEA.

Obviously, that's not feasible now. Maybe I should get some little pots like you have and try to grow some basil or something. Our apartment is muggy enough.<br /><br />Also, seed packet! I think I threw mine away.Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01134230374090889073noreply@blogger.com
