William asks…
I know there are charities who collect donations of old but useable garden tools for passing on to Third World countries. Does anyone know which charity(ies) this is?
Salvation Army. They take anything and everything. What they can’t use they ship oversea. Best thing is it’s tax deductible.
Nancy asks…
I am planning to plant a bunch of asparagus in my backyard, but it will be very tedious to plant each seed individually. I have seen some sort of staff or rod (I think it was metal) with a pointed end that allowed you to inject seeds an inch or two into the ground without digging a hole. What is this tool called?
Sorry I use a pencil to make the hole the depth I want it and place 3 seeds in each hole. We couldn’t afford special tools, so can’t be of any help here.
Sharon asks…
listen picture this.
im growing something and i want the contents of soil and fiber to be within a ( BLANK ) i dont know the name or how to describe it.
but it doesnt let the soil pass, but lets the roots grow out.
see i want to put that bag,or basket inside another big one, but it’ll have continuous nutrient filled water flowing through it.
what is it i need? and any tips on this?
thank you.
Are you trying out Hydroponics?If this is correct then you can do it this way.Make a timber A-frame.Mount pieces of plastic guttering(from plumbing supplies) on frame.Stop each end of gutters with a plastic end piece.Seal with adhesive.Fill the gutters with the nutrient.Put wire netting over the gutter.Grow your plants through the netting.My A-frame was 6′ high,3′ wide. I had four gutters each side.I grew lettuce,beetroot,carrots,tomatoes etc.If you want to do it your way then fill a bucket with nutrient,put some wire netting in,and sit plant on the wire netting.There is also a website-try Hydroponics on Google.
