| Patio Gardening |
A little dirt goes a long way!
You don't need a plot of land to grow your own fresh vegetables.With enough sun, water and a suitable container, many vegetables can be harvested from a container garden. Growing a salad garden with vegetables such as carrots, radishes and lettuce as well as tomatoes and peppers is a perfect way to start a container vegetable garden. Many people are adding edible landscaping to their patios and porches by using a variety of containers that provide good drainage and adequate room for growing plants. Container vegetables will require more attention to watering than in-ground plants but they require virtually no weeding! |

Three seasons ago we used landscaping fabric to help suppress the weeds around our tomato and pepper plants. It did a fairly good job at keeping the weeds down but did a GREAT job at hiding the fire ants that had set up a city under the fabric. When we took the fabric up (as required each season by organic "rules") we searched for and found this OMRI approved solution that really worked without harm to people, plants and pets.
