  • Raise your water collector off the ground as high as possible. This will let you harness gravity to create water pressure. Keep the spigot on the bottom of the collector.

  • I agree, the higher the better for good gravity flow! I mostly use it for grass which is four feet lower than the area you see there.

  • Gardengirl I been goin out and tryin to plant in my front yard but the damn birds keep eatin all my plants as soon as they pop up.

    I went to the home despot and got some mini plant and jammed a few watermelons, squash and other crap in the the front.

    I even called the junkyard to get one of mi cars out the front to get more land!!!!!!!

  • Use bird netting and a frame.

  • dear patti/ thank you soooo much for the mail. i really don't understand what do you mean by 'heater base for my water though'. if you explain a little more about that, will be so helpful. another question is, i'm not handy, where can i purchase a portable chic coop? i'm so excited to have my own chicken now. thank you again.

  • Check out Murray McMurray hatcheries, on line catalogue and there you can buy one. Do a google search for hatchery supplies. Best, Patti

  • The bad bills HR 875, HR 759. If you love organic foods, and want to support us who are small holding farmers who produce such foods, look these up here on youtube. You will be shocked at what is coming.

  • Wow! What a great idea to mow the lawn with chickens. After all, it is food. How about a wheat grass lawn?

  • They also had large lawns to show that they had so much wealth, that they did not need to grow food on the property

  • garden girl marry me please

  • HELLO ARE YOU EATTING THE BIRDS?

  • Those aren't native plants! Not that it matters a huge heap, but lilac is European and rhododendrons come from Asia. Those rudbeckia you showed everywhere and which were stunningly beautiful, THOSE are native.

  • Thia is great! Thank you, Patti!

  • You have so many good ideas! I wouldn't want to give up my (pesticide-free) lawn. . . I love being out there barefoot with my pets or a book, or having a picnic on it with my kids. HOWEVER, it is landscaped with edible fruit trees and vegetables, and we are planning a vegetable garden and flower edibles in some of the surrounding space. I love being green--both in the lawn I keep and the space I surrendered to grow food. It's good for kids to see growing food and not just packaged food!

  • AWESOMEEEE!

    Great examples :D!! Keep shinning!

  • "Hello #UN#, good stuff here! Happy New Year! April
