Simon Akeroyd on Instagram: "Keyhole gardening is a sustainable gardening technique that originates from Africa. It involves building a raised bed from any surrounding materials you can find. A compost is created in the centre which slowly leaches out its goodness and feeds and nourishes the surrounding impoverished soil. It’s called Keyhole Gardening because the raised bed is circular with a section cut out of it, leading to the centre. The shape resembles the shape of a keyhole. The section alllows you access to the compost heap."

Farmer Jeff Siewicki | Regenerative Success | Farm Marketing on Instagram: "@fromscratchfarmstead has an amazing example if how much can be done in a small amount of space.

Josh Gardens on Instagram: "What’s your deer fencing strategy?🦌 🌳 🍎 This old school hand built fence utilizes a double fence method where the deer will not jump because they can’t judge the distance. 📏 In fact, it only takes two, 4’ fences 4’ apart to deter deer. 🦌 They can jump high but not far and high at the same time. In addition, they have terrible depth perception which to us would look like covering one eye. 👀 Please share your deer stories around fencing and let’s see what everyone else is doing. #gardenlife #fencing #deer #doublefence # gardening #garden #gardentips #gardentip #gardening101 #tips #gardeningbasics #handmade #statepark #woodfence"
Breanna Ellis on Instagram: "Heres some more information on starting onions from seed! Ive started my onions from seed for 5 years and Ive found a few things I like to do to make planting go a bit smoother over the years! I personally like to start my onion seeds 10-12 weeks before my plant out date. WHICH IS NOW!! Im currently sitting 10 weeks out from 6 weeks before my last average frost. 6 weeks has worked really well for me in the past but Ive also planted closer to 4 weeks before my last average frost. Last year we had a fluke cold snap at the end of march but the onions did just fine with a bit of cover. Ill be continuing to watch the weather like normal and if we are staying cold I might hold off a week or two. You know how weird spring can be lol The latest Ive started my onion
Seb 💚 on Instagram: "👇 Pulling up plant roots is destroying your soil. It’s MUCH better for your soil to cut plants at the base and let them decompose naturally. Why? Beneficial bacteria in your soil actually form mutualistic relationships with your plant roots. Basically bacteria TRADE nutrients and minerals with your plants. This is why active healthy soil grows such beautiful plants without fertilizers or soil tests. The bacteria know what your plants want, and the plants trade carbon for the nutrients and minerals they need. Seriously. Plants and bacteria literally trade with each other. Plants can request specific nutrients and minerals and specific bacteria will come and fulfill the request. This sounds too good to be true? So bacteria like plant roots and want to stay n
Galena Berkompas • Urban Flower Farm • Education on Instagram: "It’s time to get your ranunculus pre-sprouted for fall planting! If you live in zones 7 and up, you can presprout your ranunculus now for weeks of gorgeous spring flowers.. If you’re in a different zone, save this info for January or February! One of the biggest mistakes I see people doing is starting these flowers way too late… and the common instructions actually encourage this mistake because they often say to “start after your last frost”… but if you do this, you won’t get many flowers and they won’t be that good. Why? Ranunculus go dormant once temps consistently reach 80 degrees F, so if you wait until your last frost date to start… well by the time they’re blooming, most climates are already reaching those temperature

Patrick Vernuccio on Instagram: "Don’t throw away cardboard 📦 Reuse it in your garden 🌿 Cardboard can have a second life in your garden but make sure to reuse the right ones. I use cardboard that are dye-free (no ink) without wax coating. Remove all labels & tapes. You can look for a stamp on the cardboard indicating it is 100% compostable and/or 100% recycled. 📦 Mulch : Use Cardboard without ink. Remove tapes & labels, cut into small pieces and put on top of your soil. It will protect & nourish your soil. 📦 Use it as plain Mulch : Cut it into a circle shape & place on your pots. By avoiding light on the soil, this will suppress weeds but also will keep your soil warmer. 📦 Feed your worms : This will nourish worms along with food scraps. Worms will also use the cardboard cell

The Homestead Wife • Homesteading & Preppin' on Instagram: "Growing your own food is a healthy way to save money and enjoy fresh produce at home. When done correctly, even the smallest backyard plot can produce copious amounts of fruits and vegetables and possibly even a significant saving to the grocery budget. well-maintained food garden yields 1/2 pound of produce per square foot per growing season, according to the NGA.

So, for the average family of fo
Char + Marv | Planted in the Garden on Instagram: "What it takes to grow, harvest and cure garlic. Late October - November: Start planting 2-3 weeks before the ground starts to freeze, plant garlic cloves 4” deep, about 6” apart. Plant the cloves with the pointy tip facing up and add 1 inch layer of compost If you have a long winter season, add about 4-6” layer of brown leaves to the top soil for mulch. This protects the cloves during winter as it lays dormant. April: Garlic begins to sprout, by this time apply compost and water deep every 2 days in the morning. Continue to apply compost monthly and don’t forget to water. June: Thin, curly, green garlic scape starts to produce right at the centre of the stem. They are edible and can be added to many dishes. If left be, it will turn
