LESSON 2.33 DESIGN - MULCH BASKET / SAC GARDEN
Mulch Basket Garden
1. Dig
a hole in the ground the place a wire mesh cylinder on top of fresh soil,
organic matter and keep filling the basket with compost, soil, old manure, worm
castings etc. Grow vines and
also tomato plants.
2.
Place a wheel on top of the mulch basket garden and
grow vines over it.
3.
You can also put potatoes in the SACK or old car tire,
if they then grow leaves, you put a second tire over it and always fill it with
soil up to the lower leaf. You can repeat these two or three times up to a
height of one meter and thus harvest a lot of potatoes in a small area. You must
make sure that the potatoes don't start to bloom and keep refilling the soil
down to the next leaf.
Always
remember the worst time in your growing season so you have enough water for
that period, or you can hose down enough water, otherwise all the work is for
naught. The plants need the most water during their final phase, which is
usually in summer.
