John W. from Kerrville, Texas sent in some pictures of his garden. John says,
This is my first year to use compost tea. I am growing plants in two Keyhole Gardens, self watering 5 gal plastic buckets and two hay bales (coastal Bermuda hay) that have a wooden framework on top containing bulk landscaping compost from a local nursery. My plants are growing super fast and my tomatoes are loaded. This looks to be the best garden I have ever had.
Judging from the fencing it looks like you’ve also figured out a way to deal with the deer. Thanks for the pics John and good luck with the garden!
Eric, I’m glad you mentioned deer as I am from Johannesburg, South Africa and the deer did not occur to me. When I saw the plants, I thought: “How dangerous must your plants be to put them in cages?” 😉
I’d love to see more photos of the self water system, great looking gardens.
yes I am interested in seeing more of john w’s whole set up – does he have any sort of site?
are the mushrooms that grow in the straw dangerous for cats and dogs to eat?
