yes, same thing. Also know as Goosefoot and Wild Spinach.

Fantastic! Just checked out and "liked" your mom's facebook page. I hope other take a moment and check out all the great posts there.
Changing minds, one at a time. :)

I would consider a chicken tractor instead of a fixed coop. It eliminates the need to fence in an entire area, protects from predators and the chickens are already "put away" when night falls. Having them on wheels so they can be moved easily is a must. Youtube has many different styles / designs.

Have you take a look at Huglekultur? These are the epitome of raised beds. Sepp Holtzer makes them large and most suburbanites won't want to go to that extreme, but modified "woody beds" are gaining popularity because of similar attributes of your mounded beds.

Purslane is also known as Miner's Lettuce. They are the same plant. We have it here in the Central New York State. I believe it can be found in most of the U.S.

Good tip. Also, I've found you don't want to be near the elevator. You're woken up by people coming in early or coming in late. Same goes for being near the ice machine or vending machines if they have them. I find that rooms that end in single digits are at the end of the hall near the elevator. Ask to see a "map"…

I really think it could. The more people learn about it, and the more people practice it, the more people will benefit. Spread the word

Aahh, yes. Thanks for pointing that out.

Separation? When you make raised beds you have a bottom in the bed? Why? They are raised beds, not container gardening. You want your bed in contact with the ground to allow earthworms, beneficial bacteria and fungi to make their way in, as well as water to be wicked up. And, you still want to build raised beds on…

You don't want to just round the corners to maximize space, you want to follow the contour of the land to maximize water. By following the contour of the land with the rows, you slow down the flow of he water and it sinks into the soil instead of running off. This also stops the erosion of the nutrients in the soil.…

Depending on what the plans for the spot is, some may want to leave the stump. A rotting stump acts like a sponge and helps hold water in the soil. As the wood breaks down, beneficial fungi also move in to do their job and in turn feed the soil. Many people are intentionally burying wood in their garden and flower…

Has this been updated recently? I installed it last fall in both Chrome & Firefox and had issues with both. It just didn't work as advertised and caused both browsers to crash. My faith has been shaken, but if it has been updated, I'd try it again.

I'm in a small town between Binghamton & Utica New York. Binghamton has "Spiedies." Spedies are chunks of marinated meat, that are skewered and barbecued, served on bread or a hot dog roll. First created by the Salamida familyhttp://www.spiedie.com/, their "State Fair Spiedie Sauce" is very well know around upstate…

Don't forget home made suet for the birds:
1 cup used cooking oil
1 cup bird seed (any kind)
2 cups "quick cook" oats
Mix and spread into a shallow pan. Store in freezer until ready to feed.
The birds will love you.

I love it when the reader's replies have better tips than the OP. Look at all that new material you got. ;)

Ugh! You don't need to spend hundreds on a "document scanner." Any cheap scanner/printer and your smart phone or camera is all you need.

I think you need to check your facts and edit accordingly. HT (heat treated) means that it was NOT treated with chemicals and IS safe for any use.
