I am new here from this morning. Through Google, I was searching for a special melon and arrived here by chance! I would have missed this great forum, from what I was able to see so far.
I live in the country, surrounded by Ayrshire cows. My gardens are organically cultivated.
Hope that I can help a few, that I can share with a few and that I can learn from a few!!!

Glad to have found this community. Lots o' knowledge and really nice folks. I love that the conversation is about gardens, self-sufficiency, and support for each other, AND that people can voice a wide variety of reasonable opinions in discussion and respectfully disagree. Civil discourse seems a rare thing these days, so thanks for that.
If any mod reads this, please let me know if, and how I should change my login! I have been "terramater" (i.e. "mother earth") on other websites/forums but I didn't realize that there was a "tatermater" here until after I created an account. I think that the two usernames look too much alike and are potentially confusing, but I am not sure if I can create another account with the same email address. Help!

You don't need to start a different acct. But you are able to change your screen name. Go to ''profile'', then ''modify profile''. Scroll down to Display Name. You can change this to Mother Earth (or whatever you choose). Then go down to the bottom of the page and press "Modify Profile''. Just remember that you will still log in as terramater. Welcome to all the new members.  |

I am new here. Found this while feeling devastated about that darn leek moth. Been reading for several weeks now. Like what I see. I have a good sized garden this year. Lots of it is still under tarp, killing some of the healthiest quack grass in Canada. Amazing how well things grow through the tarp. Lots more tarp going on to increase the size of garden for next year. What a trip.

Btw, for those concerend about me using so much plastic, as I would be if it was someone else, the tarp is being recycled as it ends up in the landfill around here. Lumber companies offer it for free.

Actually, I was pondering the condition of the carpet in H. Hefner's house the other day. (Don't ask why I get to such thought strings, if I knew I would stop being so daft!) I hear that it's loaded with animal "stuff". It occured to me that if the residence passed hands, the carpet could be transferred to the yard to serve that very purpose, to kill off grass and prep for a garden.

Hello to all! I have been reading this board for about a year and finally decided to get off, er on, my ass and sign up.
I'm in Ontario. I have a large garden, most of it very sandy and fast draining but we have added a few beds this year in another section of the yard and they are wet and clay-y. We were fortunate enough to get a couple of truckloads of well-composed elk manure and have been spreading it around with wild abandon. This is our third year gardening here. Previously we have had a few allotment gardens, but not in recent years. We are starting to feel like we are not total noobs but still have a lot to learn.

hmmm, don't want that in my yard, lol. Too much for me to think about.
I am so glad that I can get this stuff for free. Quack grass terrified me and I could not see that tilling it would kill it. In fact tilling seems to make it stronger. And since it is a swampy area, it would have to be tilled midsummer, while the garden should be growing. The tarp seems to kill it far enough in one summer that it can be used without it next season. I would have thought those trillions of seeds would all sprout in spring, but they don't seem to. So far so good.
