Can I plant a flower or vegetable garden on my roof?

Roofscapes Inc.

What can I do about nematodes in my vegetable garden?

County Extensions Frequently Asked Questions
Nematodes are microscopic roundworms that live in the soil and attack plant roots. The chemicals that were used in the soil to control nematodes are no longer available, but there are several other choices. Many vegetable varieties have a build-in resistance to some of the nematodes. Also adding organic matter such as compost or manures to the soil helps to keep down nematode populations. Another method of nematode control is soil solarization.

Q - When can I plant my vegetable garden?

WSU core
A – Are you growing from seeds or bedding plants? Sowing seeds directly into the garden is dependent on several factors. For all seeds, soil temperatures must be high enough to allow for germination, which differs from plant to plant. It also depends on how long it takes the crop to mature. See Vegetable Seeding Schedule . Vegetables fall into two categories – warm season and cool season, which determines when you plant both seeds and transplants.

I want to put a small vegetable garden in. Do you rent tillers?

Shaker Rentals - Rental Equipment
A.We do carry tillers. If you are planning a garden in an area where you have grass or weeds, I would suggest that you consider using a sod cutter first. Tilling grass or weeds into the soil where you are going to have a garden will come back to haunt you. By removing the sod you will save yourself countless hours of weeding.

Q -Can I plant the rest of my vegetable garden yet?

At last, after Memorial Day, you can plant warm-weather vegetable transplants outside without much worry. Basil is about the last to go into the ground; June 1 is not too late for basil. Start a regular fertilizing schedule.

Will an electric fence harm my animals or children?

Farm Fence FAQs - Electrobraid
No. The safety of a two-year-old child is the criterion applied by national testing laboratories, such as UL and CSA, to certify the safety of an electric fence energizer. The electric pulse put out by an energizer is so short (about 3/10,000 of a second) it hurts but it cannot injure. Once shocked, neither you nor any animal wants to touch the electric fence again.

Which type of fence do I need, the Standard or the Heavy Duty?

Benner's Gardens: Question & Answers
A good rule of thumb is to base your decision on how much deer pressure you have and how large of an enclosure you wish to make. If you have a small backyard, and not much deer pressure, then the standard fence would be more than adequate. If you have more than 400’ linear feet and the pressure is fairly intense, we highly recommend using the Heavy-Duty Fence.
