“Took her advice last summer, and my non-raised garden never looked more 'magical'. Full & productive! I had a ton of fun adding bean seeds to all the empty dirt spaces. Had green beans GALORE until frost.”

“I have in-ground worm composters in my herb garden. I have not really done anything but water regularly. WE ARE DROWNING IN PARSLEY, OREGANO, SAGE & THYME. We cannot eat it fast enough.”

“Such a breakthrough… I was just planning my spring garden as to what to put where. This fall I will be sure to plant other crops in my tomato bags to regenerate the soil.”

What could be better
“That is absolutely not true!!! I live in the northeast, and I got my seeds planted in early April last year, and I got them out in the garden in mid/late June and still had a fantastic harvest. It's sad a garden company would say it's too late.”

“I mostly agreed with you until you said peat moss is not renewable. In Canada, peat bogs are responsibly harvested. You never mentioned adding compost with sand.”

“Nicole, I received your seeds and I have planted the cucumber seeds twice and they don't germinate, but other seeds from other companies are doing fine. Have any ideas why, or are the seeds poor?”

“Those casters will 100% rip out of your container halfway through the year. Also, you didn't drill nearly enough holes. Lastly, a single bag of that potting soil isn't enough.”

“$70 is such a rip off, holy cow, plus $45 for casters?!”

“She's not being honest. Earthworm castings bought in a store are dead. The microbes are dead. It's a waste. Use Miracle-Gro at 25 percent strength.”

“Learn how paper is made, sis. Imagine thinking paper isn't made with toxic chemicals... Trellis for tomatoes? Sand instead of peat? Honestly, go learn something, honey. No one should be taking your advice.”
