  • In the mid 2000’s I was down in Mexico I had my flag on something, I was talking to a person selling hats on the street. We got chatting and he says he would give me a hat for $20 because I am Canadian, when I pulled out a piece of paper with the queen on it the saler said no no $20 US. When I heard that I put the queen away and went to another person selling hats.

    I am guessing the person was used to US people putting on our flag to make them look good.

    I have 5 bins 1 in my front porch (I have a front and back that opens up to the world) 3 are used for compost 2 are used for planting things then I have a couple flower baskets a hanger thing and a few other pots. The bins I have are probably around 100L I do a lot of gardening, or at least I try my garlic and onions did not come up last season. My potatoes are always small, I can get lots of tomatoes hanging (they are little ones like tiny Tim’s) my lettuce is great, and my peas are beautiful, the few times I have done carrots they have not been that big but yummy. I am trying to think of what else I have grown but there has been a few things over the years.

    Take the dirt you have now and start doing compost depending on what you are growing in your pots check out fertilizers. I live in an apartment and rotate the soil I use every year, I will be adding fertilizers this year, you do not need to do it every year. I personally have a three bucket method first bucket is last years dirt and compost the next bucket is two years dirt rotated from the first bucket, and then the third bucket is from the second bucket but rotated.

    This is the first year I will have a third year bucket so I do not know if fertilizer is really needed but I may just add the fertilizer to make me feel good about my process.
