2018

I live in a house with very little outdoor space, but I still wanted to grow some of my own food, so I started a container garden on my patio a few years ago. The first year was a steep learning curve with a lot of trial and error, but I've learned a lot about growing vegetables in containers and believe it's a valuable skill for everyone to have. I started this blog to share what I've learned and provide tips for making the most of the outdoor space you have. You'll find posts on a range of topics, such as the nutrients required for healthy vegetable plants, how to prepare your soil, companion planting for natural bug control and succession planting to grow more vegetables in the space you have available. I hope you enjoy my blog.

If you're in the market for a new bed, and especially if you have back or joint problems, you might consider a waterbed. Waterbeds offer more reliable support than a spring mattress, as those coils and springs eventually wear out and become lumpy and uncomfortable. Waterbeds can also be more hygienic, as a standard coil mattress may hold lots of dust, dirt, shed hair, dead skin cells and the like, which can't always be removed with a standard household vacuum cleaner and hose attachment.
