Repotting a container-grown tree

Article Abstract:

Repotting of container trees and shrubs is necessary to keep the plants from becoming root-bound. Trees should be replanted in the spring and the plant should be carefully removed from the pot to cause the minimum of shock and damage. The root crown of the tree should be two inches below the top of the pot.

Seeds for the kitchen: how to grow and harvest your own seasonings

Article Abstract:

One of the biggest advantages of growing spices in a home garden is the fresh flavor that comes when they are picked for immediate use. They are easy to grow because they do not demand a lot of fertilizer, but they resist transplanting. Regular watering is required.

Growing & harvesting garlic

Article Abstract:

Garlic is planted in the late fall, approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the soil freezes. A raised bed helps to avoid rotting from water saturation, and chicken wire lining keeps gophers away. In spring, the bulbs need a high nitrogen fertilizer.
