Beyond Worms - EMMANUEL COMMUNITY FARM

http://www.emmanuelcommunityfarm.org/beyond-worms.html

I'm going to quote from a book I was reading,. THE VEGETABLE GARDENER'S BIBLE. By Edward C. Smith. I have reviewed th ese ideas. With our volunteers many times in many different ways, but one more shouldn't hurt:. Worms and various other creatures we usually group together as "bugs. Are the visible part of a living soil, but they occupy just one role in the. Subterranean ecosystem. If we look at a soil sample under a microscope, we. Find that there are billions of microscopic creatures living down there.

Trellising - EMMANUEL COMMUNITY FARM

http://www.emmanuelcommunityfarm.org/trellising.html

We trellis pole beans, peas, and cucumbers. Trellis frames are made up. Of 3/4 " light conduit joined by conduit connectors. We cut the conduit to length and bend uprights as needed right in the parking lot. Cucumber trellises are about 5 1/2' tall and placed at a 45 degree angle with a 4' upright about 3' from the base. Plastic tees connect uprights to the trellis. The trellises for pole beans and peas are about 6 1/2' high. 6" for the bend of the upright on each side.

Fencing - EMMANUEL COMMUNITY FARM

http://www.emmanuelcommunityfarm.org/fencing.html

The first thing we did was to put in stakes every 20' along the perimeter where the fence line was to go. Then string was placed between the stakes and a 3' width of landscape fabric was laid out away from that line. We dug the first cut about 8" straight down, then a 45 degree angle was dug to the outside, with the sod and dirt lifted out and placed on the landscape fabric. Holding in the beans. We put a mini-fence up around the bush beans to keep them neat and out of the pathways. The provision of reli...
