Kev you run a survivalist board that bans people for calling a moderator a politically correct fool in a PM. How is the moderator going to handle a SHTF situation? Maybe his definition of SHTF is a name calling contest. HA HA HA.

mhfisc - the moderators on the forum are not your personal punching bag.

The oak tree may be a problem. The oak is Allelopathic and its leaves have a chemical that can inhibit growth of other plants. Also plant fall and winter crops that do not nee as much light to produce food.

i would still put it in the best spot available to get the best sun it requires,i know it's a test just to see how on your back patio but what about your front porch or elsewhere like window sill boxes or where your flower garden is!

HANDY TIP: If you plan on growing horseradish, make sure you keep it in a seperate container. Horseradish is super easy to grow, but is highly agressive and will take over your enitre garden. You will have horseradish for life, for just a few starter roots!

sometimes leaves ,from any nut tree are very high in acid when decaying,trouble for spinch crop,better for berry type stuff - some strawberries in that container,everberring type is small compact plant and lives up to the name!! it settles atop and no debri or dirt on the crown (center core leaves ) and will send a runner out on it's own to start a new plant and be still able to harvest .ya ever see a cloth type shoe tree hanger style,?? fill pockets with dirt and plant seeds,hang in sun works 2

Kevin,

If you built little plastic cover you could retain more soil heat.

You would be surprised at how much that would give advantage to your efforts.

It would only increase your vertical foot print, not area square footage. It would increase efficiency and grow more.

Thank you for your efforts.

Hi, I ran into a little problem with this years spinach. Prehaps you sowed the seed too deeply, like me. I went and prepared a 50 foot row next to my bush beans, on the SE side. I was anticipating a cool summer/fall. Spinach likes cool nights not too much water, which we had. The seedlings came up way too late because I believe I sowed them too deeply. I gave up and let the section go to a weed fallow. Sure nuff, the spinach did sprout. By then, the row was full of purslane, choking them out.
