They are horrible here. This planting seems to have tricked them. I have seen maybe two and they were by themselves instead of stuck together.Aunt Debbi/kurts momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663049154538571378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-55255396189343695752008-06-30T07:37:00.000-07:002008-06-30T07:37:00.000-07:00Deb, I have a three sisters garden in my plans for...Deb, I have a three sisters garden in my plans for next year.

It's like your own drip system with a fertilizer line thrown--and the fact that it's a use of recycled materials makes it even more brilliant!lostlandscapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960325527200005691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-58099968569446613282008-06-28T15:46:00.000-07:002008-06-28T15:46:00.000-07:00Hi phillip thanks for stopping by.

I read in "We Made a Garden" by Marjorie Fish that she would make a tea from manure and water in a bucket. Your versions a bit less smelly!Also you really direct the good stuff right to the plant. great idea, Deb.<BR/>Best,<BR/>PhilipPhilip Bewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593795071070337798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914810585595300402.post-187014886652435692008-06-28T09:21:00.000-07:002008-06-28T09:21:00.000-07:00HI ofb, and thanks.

I use my gallon milk jugs in the greenhouse when they start to leak and can't be used for watering any more--I set them down next to the tomatoes, artichokes, etc. and let them drip additional water to the roots. But I hadn't thought of putting compost inside first! And boy, those earthworm castings really make a difference, don't they? Yowie zowie!!! Your "three sisters" plot looks fantastic. I think the round zukes are adorable, don't you? What kind of corn did you plant?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
