How to start your own veggie garden?
I would like to start my own vegetable garden. How do I go about doing so? Also, I live in upstate New York, about 20 minutes from Canada. My home is located in the woods so I have to take into consideration the weather climates and wild animals. Any help is greatly appreciated as I would like to start this process very soon!

Now will be a good time to start a compost heap. Collect as many fallen leaves as you can and pile them up in the area where you would like to plant your garden. You can add poultry droppings if you can find them, as well as any other vegetable matter that is no longer useful on the property. Make sure you start out with large brown materials that will allow air underneath the pile. Throw in all of your kitchen scraps, including tea bags, coffee grounds and filters, paper towels, etc. Make sure you bury the scraps deep enough in your leaves to prevent scavengers from smelling the garbage and digging it up. In the spring, you can find a new location for your aged compost, preferably in the location of your next vegetable bed. The ground underneath your compost will be fertile and ready for tilling. Add some of your aged compost, making sure you remove any large, recognizable vegetation that can be returned to your working compost pile.
For now, you can amend your soil compost and deodorized manure from the nursery to plant cool-weather plants, like lettuce, spinach, radishes, carrots, whatever is available in the nursery is likely appropriate for your growing area. Start reading seed packets and looking at websites from your county extension service to find the best varieties and sowing schedules. Enjoy!

What is the best Jamaican coffee for the money?
I hear it’s a little more expensive to buy Jamaican coffee, so if I wanted to spend the extra cash, what would you recommend?
GardenersCardiff answers:
I bought 15 pounds of green JBMC beans for just over $22/pound but it usually averages around $30-40/pound. This may sound expensive (it is compared to regular) but it’s not so bad when you think the average coffee drink at Starbucks averages between $75-100/pound. Making my own allows me to drink better coffee and still save money.
JBMC isn’t the richest coffee out there. It’s features are it’s mildness and subtle flavors. If you want bold, you probably want to shop for coffee that wasn’t grown on an island.

Free trade allows people to buy goods and services that are not produced in their own countries?
Hi can u make an example for this paragraph ?
I need to support it somehow..
Free trade allows people to buy goods and services that are not produced in their own countries. In addition, the money countries receive from exports helps determine how much they can afford to spend on import and how much they can borrow from another country. for example…. ?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Coffee is grown in warm climates and traded with cold northern climates. England would not have coffee without free trade.
