Jiffy,
I've watched shows on my WNED channel,
and they do a show called "Victory Gardens"
and they did a show where they went over to
the I"ll say, Netherlands, or please forgive
me for not remembering where, it may come to me.
But they have those plot gardens and also contests
for the
growing vegetables..... I forget the type of vegetable grown, but I want to say turnips or parsnips, or it's a root crop and it's white.
But anyways they a little area in the ground, reasonal deep?? Up to you how deep, but they put
a garbage can on top, with the bottom taken out of the can.... fill the can with very nice dirt
(No need for holes in the sides as there is no bottom in the can....but they grow these super, super, super long veggies inside the can, and they would never got a root crop that big, because it would be impossible to grow that deep in the ground, (*you couldn't dig that deep to get it penetrable enough for the tip of the root to get that far down....let alone harvest it without breaking...*)
Has anyone seen that show, or the vegetable I'm
talking about?? This Alz's stuff is k*lling me!!
Anyways, the long end of the short of it,
it is possible.....I would think for you to do
that...
#1. Carrots
#2. Beets
#3. Parsnips
#4. Onions
#5. Turnips, parsnips and rutabagas.........
How does one grow peanuts...I'm not a peanut farmer, but I would believe anything's possible.
Try it, and let us know!!!
Weezie
P.S. I'd do some research about each
plant,
one might like cooler than the other????????
So, a metal garbage can may/or NOT be the thing to use???
Anyone with ideas on the heat of metal can in the South??? Would the heat to the metal heat up the dirt and do good, or would it conduct too much heat and cook the dirt??? With it being raised bed you tend to dry out faster.....
Would a plastic one keep too much moisture in it??
Just gotta do both and report back to us!!!
