Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Any Desert Gardening tips
|
I am experimenting with growing a liberty garden in beautiful but blistering city of Las Vegas.
I have dug out a plot (7x5x2' deep) and will be laying a wooden box of that dimensions on top of the plot 1' tall for a total depth of 3' deep. The plot is in the 24/7 shady part of the house with only about an hour or so of sun as it sets.
I will be laying a layer of dirt and some gravel (for water retention)and then garden soil
I was planning on beans (pinto), strawberries, carrots in there but I am curious about zuchinni and squash . Would they need shade as well or can I have then grow in a 3/5 lighted environ in a big planter box?
Also would like to plant a dwarf apple tree and an orange tree.
I am also looking at the hanging tomato planters to place on the ext. wall of the house.
Has anyone has any success if desert vegetable gardens and have some experiences to share.
We have a robust irrigation system
