It's best to grow the bonsai tree seedling half-inch down in the soil. It's best to keep the soil moist enabling the seed to get bigger.<br /> <a href="http://www.bonsaitreegardener.net/in-appalachia-landowners-produce-new-environment" rel="nofollow">BonsaiTreeGardener</a><br />Matiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02810391078111197553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-35378928412567385332017-03-23T13:46:52.857+00:002017-03-23T13:46:52.857+00:00Hi Kev :) That's a great description!

Now I'm an "avid" gardener lol...may I ask, why do you certainly not double dig? I saw a video on it, and thought it might be a good idea for my upcoming pumpkin patch, right now it's a grassy area with lots of weeds. I'd like your opinion on that! :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-86855822996423672042017-03-23T10:34:27.765+00:002017-03-23T10:34:27.765+00:00I like your style!

I never was too keen on labels myself, because folks don't always define them the same way and then they come with all sorts of assumptions that don't fit. <br /><br />More and more I'm thinking that the double-dig method is a good move for us. Trying to build soil from the top works good in a forest, but I'll never get it down as far as the roots want to grow. I should start on some of that digging soon; it's almost time to plant again!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-37268413899535356402017-03-23T09:52:33.053+00:002017-03-23T09:52:33.053+00:00I firstly call myself a novice and secondly very e...I firstly call myself a novice and secondly very enthusiastic. This is only my second season and first full season of properly sowing and growing and I am loving it! I have to say I don't get it right all the time, who does, but I love learning and seeing what DOES work out and am always happy to accept help, hints and tips from people. I take a bit of a "let nature just do its thing" attitude sometimes because back in the day they didn't have fancy gadgets, compost etc just the natural ground but I appreciate things can help to improve what we grow.Louise Houghtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074355125344865358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-47353579864901105172017-03-23T08:34:26.043+00:002017-03-23T08:34:26.043+00:00I would call my self a natural gardener.

I just do things as I was taught to do them; with respect for nature. I am also a slightly lazy gardener, always looking for ways to ease the burden of too much hard work.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-52374562561680639482017-03-23T00:55:55.769+00:002017-03-23T00:55:55.769+00:00Some lady ased me if she should put manure on her ...Some lady ased me if she should put manure on her strawberries so being a helpful employee at the plant area of the store, I told her that a little sweetener of some kind would be best.
