Relax ... Here's The Spot To Get Some Gardening Advice
The best gardening advice I ever got was to check my yard as often as I could, every day if possible. If you're outside in your garden on a regular basis you can see what's going on, as well as see any problems before they become severe.
But sometimes it's hard to find a reliable place to go when you do need edible gardening help, so I thought we could start our own place here.
Edible landscaping is a bit different from either general food gardening or regular landscaping. Here, we are all interested in the same thing: making our yards both beautiful and edible. Let's help each other out!
Ask your edible gardening questions, offer gardening tips to others, and have fun.
Need advice?
This is the place to get:
- advice for general gardening issues,
- edible flower gardening help,
- vegetable gardening tips,
- your organic gardening questions answered,
- any other gardening help you need.
There is no stupid question!
About 30% of the people who visit have no experience growing plants at all, so you are not alone. But many garden professionals and long time amateur gardeners come here as well, so you can be sure to get good advice about your problems.
I will personally answer your question on the same page as your question is, so please leave an email address so I can notify you where your question is and when it is answered. I screen all comments so you only get useful and constructive advice.
Want to help?
Read through the questions and see if you have any advice. I don't pretend to have all the answers -- your comment might help someone finally solve that issue they're having with their garden!
So please join in!
