Holy cow! How old is that shovel? Its fantastically worn down. Looks like you've used and sharpened it for years and years and years. In Guatemala we have an expression "he has a a skinny machete" and it comes from sharpening your machete till it's skinny. A product of hard work for a long time, and maintaining tools (which are essential to life here). Thus, you sir, have a round shovel. And it's impressive.
Me and my friend did this, this weekend and we planted Corn, Strawberries, Watermelon, and Bell Peppers! We started from scratch and his dog LIVI, kept getting in so we put a fence around it to keep him out. But I may have cut the fence wrong. whoops... But we made it about 14x12 feet. We plan to harvest in late July, and Early August. OH YEAH, almost forgot. We also planted cantaloupe and lettuce. But in containers. We just planted today actually. May 23, 2010
Christian, I just saw this video posted under BLACK14LIFE. Totally inappropriate. You should check into it. I started to flag it but I think it's you who has to do it. Norma Jean
Great video. I'm getting ready to do one on constructing raised beds and would you believe it, I also have rabbits hanging around. They're everywhere!
Hey small as your space is you could go collect some old pilots or skids as they are called and make a good fence around your garden so no rabbits to eat your plants just an ideal a free one no cost..Also you can cut a point on an old 2x4 and drive it in the ground as post to hold the pilots up....Hey i will show a video of my pilot fence across my yard whitch allows me to expand my garden...
Some black newsprint in newspapers still use petroleum based ink. My small town paper does. They say it's more cost effective than soy based. So best to double check with your local paper source first before using it in the garden.
This is great motivation! I'm gettin' ready to do the same thing in my yard. hehe...rabbits...they are part of the reason i'm gonna plant my garden - pet bunnies :P (so I guess that's an early warning sign for you, maybe have a special bunny patch for them :) & will probably have to enclose ur garden with something high enough to keep them from munching - my bunnies can jump about a 2 ft high, but not over a 3 ft barricade :) - if that helps at all.
Hi view OrganicTexas vids to see about no-till ...simply adding fertilizer & compost to the top of the soil and allowing it to soften the earth below. Its beneficial & much less work for yourself
I love watching you do these videos. You're as excited about your garden as I'm about mine. I'm thrilled everytime you come across with something new. Keep up the good work.
Sitting here with baited breath looking forward to seeing the next part...wanted
a good starter video all the rest of the videos look a bit tricky and are beyond me...I've dug out gardens over the years but not for veggies yet...
and run out of room might have a little space left...our soils are very clay a real pain..
but theres one area weed ridden I might have luck with.

Cardboard from your average cardboard moving box is pretty good too. It'll have holes in it, so watch out for that.
