what is the best compost for growing vegetables?
I’ve recently started to grow my own vegetables but I’m wondering if using multi purpose compost if this is ok for vegetables or if I need to use a specific compost for vegetables.

You have a choice between hot or cold compost.

Starting to grow own vegetables and herbs?
I’m beginning to grow my own vegetables and herbs, and I’m curious on where to buy the seeds from. The town I live in only has a wal-mart which sells seeds, however, I do buy organic produce and was wondering whether or not to purchase seeds at walmart. Would it matter where I get the seeds from? or not really?
thanks

If you want to buy seeds from a box store than opt for K-mart and the martha Stwart Collection-not organic but lots of heirloom varieties.
Thge best way to buy seeds though, is via mail order. My all time favorite seed house is Johnny’s Selected Seeds out of Maine (http://www.johnnysseeds.com) they are the best in the business, they are a small independent, employee owned seed house that has been in business for about 30 years. The seed is on the expensive side but it is excellent quality, always. I have been using them as my main seed supplier for the past 15 years. They offer a wide variety of seeds, have heirlooms, certified organic seed and do not sell seeds owned by Monsanto.
Seed savers exchange is the best place to get heirloom seeds on the planet. It is all they do and they have one of the biggest collections of heirloom seed anywhere. They are a not for profit that should be supported
Fedco Seeds (http://www.fedcoseeds.com) is another seed house out of main that is also a small independent company that does not sell GMO seed or anything from Monsanto. They carry a lot of heirlooms and certified organic seed. The quality is not as good as either Johnny’s or SSE but they are well worth supporting

How can I grow delicious fresh vegetables when theres every chance of them being eaten by possums,rabbits,wall?
I may be in a position to live somewhere,where i am at last able to grow my own vegetables.Only thing is,I’m told there will be rabbits,possums,wallabies and usual pests.To erect a green house cover would be expensive and unsuitable,what else can i do to make sure I’m the one who eats what i grow and not the hungry wild-life?

A wired fence. We tried it, and no rabbits, possums, or wallabies out. It is simple and easy. You buy some wired fence and a staple gun. You have to also get thin pieces of wood, and staple the wired fence against it. It’s simple and easy, but make sure to wear gloves, because my dad got a staple in his finger, so ya.
