How to Grow 100 Pounds of Potatoes in 4 Sq Feet

Every time when you think of gardening you are also struck by the fact it requires space? You shouldnt be!
With all these DIY solutions out there, having your own garden in the balcony is very simple. One way to
accomplish this is through the vertical handmade small garden suitable for growing 100 pounds of potatoes.
You will need:

6 pieces of 26 boards of 8 ft long;

one piece of 22 board of 12 ft long;

96 pieces of 2 and 1/2 wood screws;

The first step is cutting the 22 inches board into pieces of 33 inches in length; four pieces will be enough.
Then, take the 26 boards and cut those into 12 lengths of 21inches and 12 lengths of 24 inches. Make some
screw holes in these and attach the bottom row on the 22 boards. Place this part of the vertical garden over
the soil, fill with mulch and plant potatoes about 4 inches deep. Remember that each layer which you plant
must have its sides boarded up. Now, let them grow a bit.
When the vines reach some 12 inches above the soil, its time to add another set of boards and fill the space
with dirt. Make sure you dont cover more than a third of the plant. Do the same for each layer until you
finish the box. In order to harvest your potatoes, take out the screws from the bottom board. With your
hands reach in the box and grab your potatoes. Replace boards and soil and the layer is good to go again.
After the necessary time, remove the second board and have yourself a handful of potatoes. Read some
more off the internet about planting potatoes to make sure you do it right.

How To Help Restore The Bee Population

The decreasing number of bees in the world is a problem that scientists and especially biologists are trying
to solve. Even if we think of bees as pests, it seems like their increasing scarcity affects the surrounding
natural world, and a possible extinction of bees will trigger a chain reaction that could lead to the extinction
of all human kind. But dont panic! There is a little everybody could do to handle this issue. Planting! Yes,
planting particular types of plants will help the bees to multiply more often and easily. So, dont just stand
around while people disappear from the face of the Earth after the bees become extinct. Plant these,
according to your possibilities:


herbs:
lavender,
catmint,
sage,
cilantro,
thyme,
fennel,
perenntals: crocus, buttercup, aster, hollyhocks, anemone, snowdrops,
annuals: calendula, sweet asylum, poppy, sunflower, zinnia, cleome, or heliotrope;

or
or

borage;
geranium;

In this struggle, every plant counts. Caring after some plants will result in the safe return to what scientists
call regular numbers of bees that will restore balance to the natural life and cause benefits to the
environment as well. Choose a plant youd like to see in your balcony or yard and save the planet!

adaugati si ouale fierte taiate cuburi. Amestecati de cateva ori, pentru ca iaurtul si ouale fierte sa se
transforme intr-un sos cremos, ca maioneza. Puteti pune deasupra verdeata proaspata sau masline.
