| Onion Salvage
|
|
If you ever get an onion that has started to rot in one of the bags in which it was sold, plant it rather than tossing it. The center may grow scallion greens for your cooking use.

| Juicing Tomatoes In Small Batches
|
|
I'm growing tomatoes in containers. I would like to make juice out of them, but they are not accumulating fast enough. Can I freeze them a few at a time until I have enough for the juice? Also, does anyone have a recipe for making V8 Juice using all eight vegetables?

| All About Strawberry Pots
|
|
By Monica Resinger
|
|
Strawberry pots are the pots that are shaped like an urn and have 'pockets' up and down the sides of the pot. They are made especially for growing strawberries and are easy and convenient. You can also grow herbs, flowers or other plants in them. Plants that have a hanging habit put the pockets of strawberry pots to good use. Strawberries do have a hanging habit and don't mind being cramped because their roots are shallow so are an excellent choice for growing in a strawberry pot.

|
|
By Ron Williams
|
|
It does not matter whether you put your kitchen scraps in the compost or the bin, did you know that you could grow many of your favourite fruit or vegetables from those scraps. Indeed, unless your compost is very well matured you will find stray veggie seedlings may appear wherever you deposit the compost.

By Jill Black

There is nothing quite like the use of fresh herbs to add subtle flavour when cooking and a collection of herbs in containers outside the back door is not only useful but can be decorative as well.
