  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.

What is this plant?

This plant (the two bright green spikey-looking ones) grows in the area of WV where my husband is from, but we have no idea what it is. He says it reseeds itself every year and the plant itself gets very tall, around 4 or 5 feet. I would appreciate any comments.

  • There's nothing like Aloe Vera to perk up a plastic pot.
  • I don't like this planter as much, but hope that whatever I plant in it will quickly cover the rim.
  • I hate plastic flower pots, but keep finding them around the farm. I have no idea why we have them.

Faux-Zaic Flower Pot

I was hoping I invented the term "faux-zaic"...oh, well. This was a rainy day activity that kept my mind off not being able to go out and garden.

Use Your Old Coffee Grounds in the Garden.

Are you a big coffee drinker? If you are, you will have used coffee grounds. Don't throw them away...used them in the garden.

There are many ways to use them. Camellias, hydrangeas, and roses are all nitrogen loving plants so the coffee grounds help.

The grounds are also a great deterrent for slugs and snails around hostas and other plants that the pests love.
