Name ideas for a weekly/monthly gardening magazine???!!!?
For my Media homework, I have to design a front cover for a specific target audience. I’ve decided to do 40+ males and female, and for the idea of the magazine I’ve got a gardening magazine which comes monthly/weekly. I can’t think of a good name for the magazine and it has to be shortish and snappy and something that sticks in your head easily. I don’t really want it to be Gardening Weekly/Monthly and I would prefer it to have alliteration in it(doesn’t matter if it doesn’t though).
I’ve got two names but they’re kinda lame :
Gardening Group
Plants
As you can probably see by the quality of the names I thought of I’m kinda desperate ha ha!!
Thanks in advance, also the name I use gets best answer! xx

Non-traditional methods for gardening?
I have tons of pavement/concrete area on my property, but only a small section of soil-type land for a potential garden. I’m struggling whether I should put a garden in the remaining small area of soil area that I have, or whether there are “non-traditional” methods for growing some basic fruits/veggies. I was looking through a few gardening magazines, and many people had luck with large pot-type planters (which I can put anywhere on my property). Anyone have success with gardening out of planters, or any other method besides the good ol’ ground method? If so, what kind of herbs, fruits, veggies? Thanks.

Container gardening is very popular.
My hubby and I do lots of container gardening…..even vegetables. Here is our method (USA):
Plastic pots 14 inches across the top.
Holds 25 pounds potting soil-we use Miracle-Gro Potting Soil with Plant Food for flowers (not vegetables-ask the clerk at the nursery for vegetable potting soil).
Mix water crystals into the top six inches of potting soil-these hold water so you do not have to water more than once per week when the temperatures hit 100 degrees.
Water well and leave it alone for a few days so the crystals can absorb the water. Do not plant or the swelling crystals will push your flowers up and out of the potting soil.
After a few days, mix 4 tablespoons Osmocote flower fertilizer into the top four inches of potting soil. Water in well and wait a day or so. There is also a vegetable Osmocote fertilizer. (Read and follow the directions on the container just in case your container is different from ours.)
Now you can plant. Water well.
Every 14 days fertilize with liquid fertilizer – we use Miracle-Gro Bloom Booster.
Check for a vegetable liquid fertilizer.
Stop fertilizing one month before your first autumn frost. But keep watering.
Let your flowers go to sleep after the first frost or take them indoors and place in a south facing window (sunny window).
Lightly water through the winter months, but do not fertilize.
Do not put back outside until all frost has past. We usually wait till the nights have reached 68 or 70 degrees.
Add the Osmocote fertilizer again each spring (or other good flowering fertilizer).
When flowers start failing, change the potting soil’s top 1/3 or 1/2, mix in well, add new water crystals, add fertilizer. Buy new plants. This is usually done every third spring.
Hint: Always water till it runs out the bottom. Wait a few minutes and then water again. This only need to be done about once per week to ten days when using the water crystals.
Happy gardening to you.
