still wet and cold my garden will not be planted until the end of May. But by then it will be filled with weeds. Can I apply corn gluten now and then till it under in May without hurting my first planting? Or just fight the weeds until my plants are 5 inches tall?

Hello everyone, I grow my own wheatgrass and now instead of getting my topsoil from random places, I want to know what is one namebrand of ORGANIC topsoil(peatmoss too) that I can stick with indefinitely-Are the name brands in the green and yellow bag in home depot good? (seems so, but just want to be sure)I would highly appreciate a simple answer to this, thank you

Normally I’d welcome bugs, but these are particular aggressive and the garden is my 15 month old daughter’s favorite play place.

I weed out one area and then it grows in another area. I know it spreads by underground roots but how am I to stop this invasive herb from taking over my garden?

I can’t use any kinds of pesticides because of my asthma, so anything I do has to be organic. I know I’m wanting to plant some tomatoes, cucumbers, maybe some watermelon, and maybe some pumkins. What all do I need to know before I start this little project of mine? Thanks!

Argus 420 asked:


I have an indoor garden where these tiny little gnats seem to spring forth like wild-flowers after a long rainy winter from the soil of my plants. I have a few yellow fly strips up, however, after about a week and a few hundred flies later, they stop having any space left for more flies!

I have tried nematodes and ladybugs, however those are very expensive require lots of work. My indoor garden, because of where I live, is going to be prone to these bugs no matter what I do.

I have a small outdoor garden where spiders have taken residence and seem to keep my bug problem at bay, and I have had MUCH experience with spiders and how beneficial they can be as predators. I always leave 2-3 in or around my house or garage that are out of reach to keep my bug problems at bay. (we all have flies, face it…)

Is there a “safe” species of spider that I can introduce into my very small indoor garden that will keep the bug problem at bay? Can a “safe” sepcies be kept under control?

I have treasured plants brought from the family home I sold a year ago. The plants have been thriving in the yard of the rent house I moved to but I discovered fire-ants all around. I want to take cuttings from when I move soon. . Any green ideas for organic gardening ?

What are the first steps to start an organic vegetable garden? I know it’s too early to start a garden but I want to be prepared for when it is time.
