If you dont mind me asking, how much do you think it ran you to build your raised garden? I might go out and do some pricing on materials this weekend but Im kind of curious to get a ball park number to work with. Also how many 2X6 boards do you think you used for a garden of this size? thanks...

Ok so in my new house there is a nice sized area under the split level entryway that in addition to using to house my media server and stuff, I would like to dedicate a portion of it for starting off my seeds/plants. For now I will be using 4 4' Fluro's but eventually would like to upgrade to...

See there WOULD be a great use for an "any" key on a keyboard. Its amazing how some words can be miss typed and still make some kind of sense...lol Welcome to the forum. It really is a great place. Don't let all of this scare you off. :D

Was that a Jack Dempsey I saw in the aquarium? Just curious because it looks like the one I had for about 10 years. He died just a couple years ago. i cam home and he was all curled up on the carpet from jumping out of the back of my aquarium...lol Nice plants by the way very nice and simple setup.

Ok so I went through my expanding collection of seeds to try this year and this is what I came up with. If I might not have quite enough time for any of these please let me know. Cayenne Golden Cayenne Birds Eye Jalapeno Mucho Nacho Japone Garden Salsa Most of the "crop will be the typical...

Well I would be more than happy to adopt, especially if you got more than you can handle. I'd hate to see good happy plants go to waste. :)

I'm thinking most of what I will be growing will be Cayenne's and a few other varieties. Ill just have to make sure they aren't super hots. But since I was gifted a brand new Excalibur 9 tray dehydrator by my dad, I wanted to make some different powders but mostly cayenne for now. Then next year...

Thank you all for the congrats and the advice. I do have a nice HUGE window and many other windows in the house I could utilize and just get them going on real sun from the start and then get them out when weather permits me to. I did tell the wife to be that I WILL be putting at least a couple...

Well I dont have a whole lot of choice but to wait just a couple weeks. Hopefully all will work out.

So once again I am going to mention that on Feb 26, 2011 I am marrying the most amazing woman ever and we have also a brand new home we will start getting moved into this Thursday. So I am trying to hold myself back from starting seeds. This year will be my third year as a pepper grower. First...

There is only one problem I could see with the mosquito spray here in Minnesota. Our state bird is the mosquito and they are the size of pterodactyl's. That better be some powerful spray... :rofl:

Yeah I don't like the look or weight of RR ties anyway. Any information on the new treating would be much appreciated. Cant wait to get building now. :D

HOLY COWS! That thing is beautiful...I think....I think I may shed a tear. Really good structural ideas. I did plan on doing the galvanized mesh you were talking of but never thought of the other material to keep from dirt pouring out of the cracks. The only other add on id like to do is a built...

Wow that's awesome. All good news. I will have to remember all of that come spring and maybe start looking for my lumber now and see how much it will cost for each bed. My dad and I are also get a 15 X 30 plot in Blaine, don't know if you read about this or not, to plant our stuff in so I will...

So Muskymojo, or anyone else for that matter, should I add anything in with the compost when I get it or just use it as is? If I should be mixing anything with it, what ratios should the added in items be in?

Well the 4 foot wide idea sounds like a great idea but part of the reason for doing a raised bed, at least for this year, was to avoid digging more than I have to especially since my back is horrible. But even doing a true raised bed and lining it with plastic would be a great idea though. :)

Well Im thinking I am going to do some simple 6 X 3 X 2 raised beds and for the first year fill them up with the stuff from the Anoka County Compost site and see how that goes. I also plan on trying my hand at some worm farming so I can enrich the soil with some of that stuff too. Sounds like it...

***sings twilight theme*** its a little weird...lol I sent you a message to and it looked like it went. Anyway time for bed for me. :D

I also went to Blaine Senior High. Class of 97 here...lol Thats also the compost site I have gone too in the past to drop off leafs. Its kind of by Bunker Hills if I recall. Either way I do know where your talking... Where I live now until we finish the inside of our house is just about 3 blocks...

Thats pretty funny I live in Anoka County. Im from Blaine but our new house is up in St. Francis on "The Ponds" golf course. Well perhaps I will go to the Anoka County Compost Site and get some. Do you by chance maybe remember about when you went? Maybe I just need to keep my eye out when they...
