Here’s a waterless waterfall project from beginning to end that a reader sent in from his own backyard. Pretty good stuff – he built this himself with a little help from outside contractors.

Garden Picture and Video Contest

Doug — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 14:45:02 +0000

I’m announcing a great garden video contest tomorrow (well, today if you read this in a reader).

The deal is simple. Make a garden video. Upload it to Youtube. Use the contact me page on any of my sites or the newsletter address to give me the url of that video on youtube. I’ll upload it here.

The subject of the video has to be gardening – other than that – you’re on your own. And it must be produced in response to this contest, prior videos are not eligible for entry in this contest.

The best video gets a box of bulbs from the Netherlands Flower Bulb folks – about 50 of next year’s hot European bulbs. How good would that be to get some bulbs that your neighbors don’t have? Or that they can’t get.

Other prizes include books and e-books.

One box of bulbs will be awarded to a Canadian and one box to a US gardener so you have to id yourself – which country do you live in? If you don’t include your country, your video can’t be considered. Tell me this in your contact email – and I’ll keep track of it. But without that – no big bulb prize. Your video will be considered for other prizes if I don’t know the country of origin.

A Garden Tour of My Landscaping

Doug — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 20:47:48 +0000

Here’s a quick tour of my garden landscaping project – from the rock I may need dynamite for to a quick look at the trial and holding nursery bed. I’ve put in a few shots of historical value- what it looked like before we started. We’re calling this Year Zero in our landscaping and everything rolls out from here.

Tomato Ladder

Doug — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:49:43 +0000

Here’s my world-famous system of growing tomatoes using a ladder. You can build your own out of 2×4’s (I usually did but used this ladder because it was around and I was too busy to go into construction phase)

Simply train the tomatoes up and through the rungs – let them hang over the edges and you have a system that won’t shift, fall over or create problems.

Quick, easy and inexpensive (if you use 2×4’s and not big aluminum ladders)

Making Tomato Supports I use bamboo stakes to create garden support systems for...
