Thank you Johanna!!
This time of year, it's easy to drive around ABQ and find bagged leaves waiting for disposal by the city, at least that was the case a few years back. You only have another week or two to collect them before they're gone for another year ....
Now that is a chicken tractor!
I really thought this was clever too! I would think that Craig's List would have many of these listed pretty cheap. I believe that they had 3 chickens, but this setup could handle quite a bit more, and it looks so darn cute!
Wow, Inspiring and Beautiful!!!
She can dump out the bin in an area where she would like to create a new garden bed, preferably in a sunny location. Cover it with a black plastic bag or any other medium which will absorb the heat. Piling LOTS more leaves on top and saturating ever…
Thanks for the advice Chris... I'll pass it along to my friend...

Thank you so much for your comments about the class, it is always nice to hear that people enjoy it! And I am so glad that your interest in hanging gardens was piqued. I do not have any pictures loaded onto the computer yet but they will be coming online soon. As a brief description, the structure encompasses approximately a 20x30 area. It was designed to have the spiral curve of a nautilus shell, if you looked at it from the sky. The bones of the structure are rebar bent, welded and set into the ground, so that from ground level you walk into an archway with a 4' garden bed on each side that spirals into an open sitting area in the middle. Each piece of rebar is connected to the next by chicken wire, which is easy to move for different plants but sturdy enough to hold up the heavy melons and squash. Excepting pumpkins. :) Hope that helps. :) I will get pics up soon and I am also hosting a tour in oct. if you would like to check it out in person:

Thanks, Heather
And the 'men needing work'...as do women. ok ok, off to see if I can get my lab not smelling like a 'cat house' as Steve just said. I dropped a bottle of fragrance oil. lol
I do want to learn how to can though. Right now, I'm afraid of pressure cookers, and haven't gotten over that fear in years, so it's a goal. just call when you wanna come over. bring the other half, she MAY get interested on seeing our garden. it's small but it's good. and it doesn't take MUCH effort, except for the blasted watering all the time, even with the drip.
Yes, I am heavy into herbalism. my website is www.BlueSageNaturals.com
Feel free to come over when we are distilling or any other time. I love to show off the garden. LOL and we have 4 muscovies, Bandit [m], Zorro [m], Half Dome [f] and Mama.
