Katie M asked:


I live in an subdivision that has quite a bit of extra property. I’m thinking this might be a good time for our little community to come together and plant a vegetable garden.
Does anyone have any experience in starting something like this? What about the shady neighbors (yes, there are some) who like to take things that don’t belong to them?

Rhapsody asked:


I’ve started a container garden, in an attempt to become more self reliant. I have several Rubbermaid storage bins that are about the 25 gallon size (28X19X16.5). Would I be able to combine plants in this? My ideal combination for one bin would be something like…onions, carrots, spinach, and lettuce. Could I fit all this in one bin together and would it grow properly? Would a mixture of herbs work in a bin or are they best grown separate? Thanks for all the help, in advance!

Mia asked:


I live in North Carolina where the soil leaves a bit to be desired, but I’d like to start a vegetable garden. I have a nice sized backyard to do it in and we’ve grown vegetables before, but only tomatoes and some sunflowers. I want to do something on a larger scale.
Tips please?
I have no idea where to start in planning this thing.
Thank you.
