BTs 2017 Better late Than ?

[BarG]

Good to see you came by.
Got anything planted this yr,

just a veggie garden, and the deer cleaned out my beans and peas.

 

[SmokesAhoy]

I'm sure you'll give the deer a chance to pay their tab in the fall.

 

[Brown Thumb]

Me Too.
I be sitting on the porch relaxing and the be poking me in the eyes with sticks.p

 

[Brown Thumb]

Is that red thing in the trailer your stand-up planter?

BT, How do you lay down your cloth? Do you have one of those machines that hooks up to your tractor's PTO, rolls and tucks the cloth under the soil?

Bob

Yup, I swear by it.
I plant the Baccy by hand tho,

Yup, I only use it for a couple of hrs a yr and it holds the garage wall up the rest of the time.
It was a worthwhile investment considering the time it saves.

i got about 100 in.
Im in no hurry, I might stick in 50 more tonight.
300 is nothing compared to 750 to 1000 I grew in the past.

 

[Brown Thumb]

I have no clue for spacing for this Baccy.
so I did a row of 12, 18 and 24 inches apart.
I think I will stick with 18 inches

 

[Brown Thumb]

I can get used astro turf for 50 bucks a roll , 15x/20 ft.
i know Im getting some to put under the hot water solar system so my wife don't have to mow around an in it.
i was thinking to run it down in between the garden rows also

 

[ChinaVoodoo]

That sounds like a nice cool place for slugs to hide under during the day. I've had bad experiences with flat things on the ground in the garden.

750 to 1000 ! whouah that's a LOT !
It's a lot of work !
I feel like 250 is about what I can manage, more would probably be too much, but who knows

Correct, the slugs love to hide under flat things in the garden (under the pots for example).

 

[Brown Thumb]

The hell with the AstroTurf in the garden.
I never had a problem with using blood meal when planting until JBD said something about critters

Time to fire up the electric fence

I've been trapping and then releasing my critters in your back yard for a few years now. As a matter of fact I have a pick-up truck load of ground hogs I'll be dropping off... soon...in the middle of the night...

Groundhog in a Crockpot is Awesome.
