Wow! Thank you so much, Sparrow. I'd never heard of this. I did a

quick Google search and saw a site on this. I'll have to read up on

this.

My boyfriend and I tried a small area as a lasagne garden at the end of

the season last year and we were amazed at how well that did, though we

had some animals get to it.

I don't know if it's of any help, but this winter I've been going out

to the garden and clearing weeds whenever it was warm enough to do

that. I'm hoping that that will cut down on my work, too, but maybe

not.

I definitely want to get into some sprouting. I love the taste of

sprouts. I also had fun doing the alfalfa sprouts years ago.

One thing that might help with animals is one of those boxes . . . I'm

drawing a blank on the name of it - maybe Ernest knows and can help

jog my memory? It soaks up soalr power during the day and then at

night it sends random low-powered light beams out that keep animals

away from your garden. The theory is that the lights make them feel

like they're being watched by people so they stay away.

It definitely does cut down on work. I spent a little time every day

clearing nettles in one section of our community garden and it really

cut down on maintenance work later when we planted that section.

The beauty of square foot gardening is that you " import " soil so you

aren't starting out with weed-filled soil.

Sprouts are awesome! I just took a batch of broccoli sprouts out of

the sprouter yesterday. They're all gone now! LOL. Got some radish

sprouts in there now. And alfalfa sprouts in the other sprouter.

Here's what I ate for dinner last night:

cut up one apple

cut up one avocado

put raw honey on a sheet of nori (sushi seaweed), add 1/4 of the

apple, 1/4 of the avocado, and top liberally with broccoli sprouts (or

other sprouts or greens).

Loosely roll the nori like a burrito and hold it together as a

sandwich wrap while you eat it.

Repeat three more times. :-)

Yummy, filling, tons of nutrition. Sprouts make the best " sandwiches " ,

regardless of the type of " bread " you use!

Happy Sprouting and welcome to the list, Merrie. I'm so glad you're

here and, please, do ask any questions you have. There are no stupid

or inappropriate questions if you're sincere about wanting to learn

more about sprouting and related topics.

That person from the gardening list who tried to silence you should be

ashamed! We are all here to learn and share and foster a love of

sprouting. We value those with tons of knowledge (Ernest, ,

etc.) and we value those who are all ears and eager to learn. Welcome!

Earth Box. They are pricey, but last a long time. Most major nurseries

are stocking them now. Google Earth Box to read about them.

I didn't want to ask anything that wasn't sprout related since this

is a sprout group, so I didn't know if it was OK to ask something on

the side like what to do about animals getting into a garden. I hope

Ernest is OK with giving me a lead on this. We didn't have any

problems with animals until late into the season (like into August).

I don't know why. I had just gotten the lasagna garden area going

really well. Kale and Bok Choy were thriving. I was ready to cut

some and then... the next day I went out and things were greatly

eaten away with stalks and leaves left next to some of them. This

activity continued until I had nothing left except a small stalk

showing where something had been. It took about a week. I don't

know what animal got it. We have deer, rabbits, and ground hogs

around me. There may have been something else. Who knows. We had

some new neighbors that moved in and they aren't containing their

dog, but I don't think a dog would have done this. There was no

digging around--just something chopped off everything.

I was hoping that was the case. We seem to have tons and tons of nut

grass out there (the little balls that have roots that grow in all

directions out of them so that they run all under ground, sprouting

up randomly. Until you get all of it, you can't get rid of it. I'm

working in what was a field that my brother farmed until early 2006.

Nothing had been done with it until I started working it last

summer. It was terrible--dusty and dry with no worms. Nothing

wanted to grow at first and weeds were everywhere. Early last fall I

began to see some worms, but then a storm came through and ended

everything. I'm hoping that this year will be better since the

ground got worked some last year. All I did last summer was work and

work, straining my legs while suffering from the heat. Yellow squash

was doing well until those little white worms got all of that. The

squash borers eventually got all the vine plants, so we did alright

with green beans, and that was about it.

That's what I noticed with lasagna gardening. I think that's why

that succeeded.

I have some nori. We like it. I hadn't thought of putting sprouts

in with it. I bet my son would love it. He likes that sort of

thing. He was brought up with macrobiotics though we're not able to

do that now.

I felt the same way. I don't think they really intended to be

harmful, but they were. They referred me to two other groups they

thought were better for beginners, but they were social groups and

spent a lot of time talking about things besides gardening, so they

weren't what I was looking for. Because I was so busy outside trying

to get the weeds handled, I didn't have time to keep looking for

groups. During that time of year, I needed a place where I could go

and just put up a quick question about whatever I couldn't find on my

own. Oh, well. Every group is different.

Thanks for your welcome, Sparrow.

Ok, number one - I am not the monitor of this group, so I have no

comment on the content. I garden in a yard that is surrounded by other

yard and don't have much animal problems. The only real problem is a

neighbors cats. The cats love to poop in my freshly planted soil. I

combat this by covering fresh worked soil with the nursery trays that are

about 2 1/2 foot sq. They have holes in the bottom so that I can water

through them and sun light can get in. Nurseries give them away. I don't

know anything about the boxes that you are asking about. It sounds like

your boc choy was eaten by snails.

E.W. old bean, sorry,

Just a quick 'old-timers' remedy for cats fouling your garden...lay out an old

piece of rope, hose or even an old trouser belt (assuming you're not wearing it)

so it looks like a snake. Scare the squishy parts off most cats! If you want

to go barmy, you could always buy a rubber toy snake. If you, or anyone else,

tries it, do mlet me know how it works on an American cat. I hear a catapult

with a squished up ball of bread works well, too! Wouldn't want to hurt the

little dears, would we now.

All The Best...Doug. :~)

This is really a message from Doug.
