Hey Jeff, I will be changing our 3'x14'x 10" DWC into a wicking bed and would love your advice. My wife won't let me touch it until later in the season but I plan on starting with say 3" of our granite gravel, weed barrier and then worm castings and compost mix. Of course the plumbing manifolds at the bottom first. Sound about right? We are working hard in the dirt garden as well right now.
And yes I was floored to see my last post in February still on page 1 here. So quiet. We are used to seeing this group change pages daily just a few yrs ago. Can't entirely blame that on Spring planting. We have been pondering the quiet ourselves. FB seems to be jumping on the other hand. Many new AP pages on there along with our own. Siphon sales have been sporadic as well. We are either covered up or quiet. 2 off to Singapore this am.

Good to see some people have a good sense of humor!
I have several types of tomatoes, peppers, melons, squashes, lettuce, mint, tomatillos, black berries, strawberries, herbs, and probably several other things I've forgotten.
And a partridge and a pear tree.....

What I've planted my first real outdoor season in embarrassing. The list is to long to type. I watched too much YouTube and wanted to do it all. Now I've decided that next year I'm doing all my planting in some sort of containers.

YEP! First nice day and we're gone. Got to get the planting done. I would like to know what everyone's planting. I got 6-row barley, garlic, parsnips, dragons tongue beans, shallots and dill so far. I have to plant my herbs in a few days. These go into my net pots in my troughs.

Wow! All the groups have been pretty silent lately and the last couple of days they lit up. Guess everyone has been planting outside.
