LYDIA'S TOTE GARDEN & MILO I have been doing this "Compost  Tote Gardening"  for 4 months.  The tote bins cost me $5-$6  at  most stores. I decided to  make compost  bins in 12 and 15-quart dishpans. They only  cost  $1-$2  at the discount stores. This project  has been fun!  I used  plastic end tables after  I used up my recycled patio chairs.  They were only  $7 at discount  stores near my house.  I had  some unused metal fern stands. I  placed  totes/dishpans on them and added them to my tote garden display. It's amazing how big my dill,  stevia, basil, and  bell pepper plants  got in 6-quart planter s.  I got 3-inch bell peppers and  lemon  cucumbers.  D ill plants in my  containers died last year. The compost bin  underneath my dill must have been  the key to  a fantastic yield. I harvested and dried dill two times. TIPS THAT HELPED MY PLANTS: +MAKE SEVERAL HOLES IN PLANTERS  & BINS.   (GOOD DRAINAG

SENIORS CAN REGROW VEGGIES!

I was up late one night looking at my Boards  and Pins on Pinterest. I noticed  several Pins and Boards stating that you can  "ReGrow Kitchen  Scraps"  I thought, " No Way". I had to see  if this was a scam, all hype,  or a joke! I started with the green onions. I bought  a bag of green onions  with roots from the  grocery store.  I placed some of them in a jar  in my kitchen window. The rest of the onions  were placed in a planter on my porch. My onions grew two inches by  the end of the week!  I have had  a  never-ending source of green  onions  since last year.  I tried rooting pineapple tops and  ginger root. The pineapple top had to be rooted in water first.  The ginger root can be cut in pieces. I let the ends of the ginger harden on the counter.  I  placed  them in the soil in my planters with the buds pointing up, I had  to keep the ginger root watered for  a few months. Finally, green shoots came up and the plant looked pre

LYDIA 'S SENIOR GARDEN & HER POOCH MILO NOTE:  PLEASE OVERLOOK THE SYSTEM FONT ISSUES! I have been in an experimental mood this summer. Maybe staying home  due the Pandemic is the cause. I wanted  to try challenging gardening methods.  I have been viewing more videos  on gardening.  My new interest is  storage bin gardening. This is not  a new  concept except this person  placed  the bin on  a patio chair.  Compost  was added to  the bins. I was  initally turned off when I heard the word COMPOST! My son tried it once  and it was a lot of work.  This new  method of composting was a lot easier.  The compost was  layered  in the bin  and no compost turning was involved.  The garden plants were placed in  small planters then placed  on top  of the soil in the bins. I reviewed several videos and devised  the gardening method for me. *2 large red dish pans (with holes in bottom)  sitting on 2 recycled patio chairs *Compost for my dish pans: Layered

ANYTIME SENIOR GARDENING!

Hey, Senior Lady or Guy, I want to share some information with you.  I found out that you can have a mini garden whether you are old or young. It doesn't even matter whether you are physically active not. I figured that now was a good time to learn  gardening since I am "staying at home" due to the Pandemic! Walking outside  my door  to get some lettuce for a salad   would be a wonderful thing! Senior Citizens can set up a mini garden outside of the house or apartment on the patio or balcony.  ! discovered from watching online videos that you can make all kinds of raised beds. I saw a child's swimming pool used   as a raised bed. This was an ingenious idea but too large for my limited space.  Most people used lumber for their raised beds. This was too expensive for my budget. These beds required more physical labor than this senior lady could handle. Finally,  I saw a video where the woman used recycled patio chairs and 18 lb plastic totes f
