Ed-Zulu Posted January 30, 2014 Share I need to get started with one of these... think it will probably have to be a vertical garden though - my staffies will make a meal of a flatbed - anyone got any cool idea's or seen any handy links?    A buddie of mine planst his veg, mostly shallow growers in gutter he attached to his back pre-cast walling. Works really well for salad vegs, herbs etc... Interwebs are full of ideas on vegtable walls Andrew Steer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Brunsdon Posted January 30, 2014 Share I'm trying the Square Foot Garden thing, check out: http://sfgsa.co.za/Carrots and onions in the near most row.Lettuce and Swiss Chard in the secondPeppers in the thirdand baby tomatoes in the back. I'm struggling with an Ant and snail problem at the moment. This is what it looked like at the start My original attempt was actually a SFG and I wanted to test the theory of the high density gardening. It works very well (too well) but I did find that I need to replan my next attempt as things like the beans became overgrown and my lettuce and spinach suffered. As for the bugs, I throw my left over plunger coffee over my plants. Works like a bomb and its rich in nitrogen. Now I just got a 10L bucket of the stuff from the office as our coffee machine makes grinded coffee  Also add radish to your mix. You can grow them by your tomatoes for now as you will harvest them within 30 days. I never ate a radish in my life until I grew my own. Now I'm addicted to them.  Also look at companion planting due to the nature of this type of gardening. Very interesting read. I did not know that my beans where bad for my tomatoes but the carrots are good. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companion_plants Imploder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeeek Posted January 30, 2014 Share I'm struggling with an Ant and snail problem at the moment.  Have you tried beer snail bait traps, my sister had issues with snails in her veggie garden and said this worked for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I FLY Posted January 30, 2014 Share I need to get started with one of these... think it will probably have to be a vertical garden though - my staffies will make a meal of a flatbed - anyone got any cool idea's or seen any handy links? We had just planted our first lot of seeds in our four 2mx2m vegetable boxes when a foster care bull terrier arrived. He immediately destroyed everything in these boxes. We stopped planting until he goes back home. Andrew Steer and paarlmtb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
