growing seedlings for the poor?
After the last freeze we will drop them off at the Salvation Army and local food bank.
Using bags to grow in mostly. plastic shopping bags cut in half. then formed by wrapping around a two-liter soda bottle. a little tape. sandwich baggies would have worked well. Other than that i have a lot of those little six-packs left over from commercial buys. maybe next time i will hit up a landscaper for their leftovers.
half manure and half dirt since that is what i have a lot of. You know how to do. we think this is a great idea if u have some light space available. The thought of all those kids picking veggies or growing a jackOlantern is a lot of fun. Especially since I know lot of them would have had nothing otherwise.
i think this summer i will take cuttings from my fruit trees because i like the idea of giving away perennials. i guess the nectarine has a rootstock but luckily THAT is throwing off suckers so it should be okay.
happy earth day, BTW.
This is a wonderful amazing thoughtful idea! It is awesome!
I am sure they will take them! Miracle grow and Scott’s soil products and most other soil products use nut shells as part of the organic material. For those who have nut allergies it’s not wonderful news. I have a feeling you are using your own recycled soil so it may be safe. This is the only thing I would mention when dropping off the seedlings if it applies. For people to have fresh fruit and plenty of it is such a great idea. Thanks you for making such a big effort…..Happy Earth Day to you as well! Best wishes and have a great one!
