Vegetable Gardening

roger asked:


Recent data from the USDA shows vegetable gardening at an all time historical low in the US, down 15% from 2004 to 2005.
(Anyone who thinks that it would be a good thing to have more food gardens in this world is invited to join some like-minded folks at ww.kitchengardeners.org . Thanks.)

I have a recently planted raised vegetable garden with beans, onions, radishes and lettuce. I notice a considerable number of red ants starting to appear. Will they hurt my veggies? If so, what can I use to get rid of them?

I am building a frame for a vegetable garden inside the frame. I want to know if I can safely use pressure treated wood to build it.

In Southeast Colorado the easiest grass to maintain is Bermuda, however this creates a problem because the Bermuda grass creeps like a ground covering weed. It’s great if you’re trying to build a yard with no stickers, not so great if you have an area that you want to be grass free.

We just bought our first house and I’m looking to start a small vegetable garden. Do I need to call the electric or gas company before I start digging? It’s only going to be a foot or so down that I’ll be digging. Just enough to turn the soil so I can plant in it.
