Thank you both so much, you both seem very knowledgable. I appreciate the advice and am trying to get as much done as possible ( i work 2 jobs and have a 4 yr old so time is limited).
I made my garden with posts that i removed from the ground, will my garden not be considered totally oraganic due to the fact that the posts were painted?
I want to feed my son out of this garden and i want to cover everything. the paint on the post should not affect the veggies right?
I have started a compost pile in a garbage can w/ holes cut into it. it is working but i am not making enough to use in the garden. I may use this to pot flowers for the front of the house.
i have included a picture of my garden. tell me what u think.
