Nice! I planted potatoes in a tilled area and didn't stay on top of the weeds, I knew full well what would happen, before and after pic.

Gardening with the kiddo is the best gardening! Also not knowing what to do is great cause if you get any yield its a success!!!

Nice!!!

Post yours!

Working on prepping the site for our fall pumpkins and sunflowers. Tilled and tarped an 80x80 area last fall. Half billboard tarps and the other half 4 mil plastic, I couldn't keep the 4 mil from blowing off no matter what I tried, I recently tilled and planted cowpeas on the uncovered area...

Thank you! Surprisingly I don't have much help, my significant other gets out about once a month a helps for a few hours. Gardening is my hobby, and I spend a lot of time doing it. You'd be surprised how much you can get done putting 10 hours a week in.

Got decent germination on some cowpeas I broadcast last weekend!

Will oats do fine through the summer months? How are they with heat and inconsistent rain as we have here in north Texas in the warmer months

Our garden progress, lots of flowers! They are getting close to opening up an abundance of colors soon!

Back to the garage for me. I made the mistake of not knowing how to properly sharpen the blades, and now I get to do it the proper way, which I've been told is flat bottom, 45 degree angle top, and that's it, no sharpening past that. I got those blades knife sharp, due to several dings in the...

I'm wondering at what height/thickness I would need to mow then till the cover crop in? I tried tilling grass in not to long ago and ended up with a mess in the tiller, had to grab the mower, then till. And thanks for the recommendation on the clover. And also wow, I have had the Austrian peas...

I've got a chain harrow that I was planning to use for that purpose, I'm wondering if the cheaper ATV seeders are worth much, either the ones with the trough that you drag, or the one you mount and it electronically spin seeds, there are quite a few options for under 200$

That's awesome! Good job man, that's exactly what I'm looking to do. I already tilled and broadcast cowpeas a week or so ago, they are coming up nicely. I would like a seeder that I can plant in a mowed down crop, so as to not have bare soil ever. I'm trying to choke out the grasses with cover...

That's awesome! I need to build a canopy for mine, but am going to have to make it easily detachable due to having to put the rops down to pull it in the garage, and wanting to keep it out of the weather. That's really cool it has the fan up top, and your light setup looks awesome as well. I...

This isn't actually mine, I just screenshoted it of the internet. I'm hoping others might have converted some for theirs. I'm considering using a small cultivator for mine, setting up the box on top and add wheels and a pully and belt for the seeder, but I'm not sure what would work best for The...
