The only land I own that is semi-suitable for planting is my small (75'x30') front yard. The rest of my land (1-acre, is hardwood forest and is very steep. My front yard has about 3- of topsoil before a very hard sandstone bedrock. So, instead of making raised beds, I've decided to garden with straw bales. I'm planning on about 36 bales, growing in spring, summer, and fall. I'll also be utilizing containers where appropriate. I'm excited but, I really hope Georgia does not have the awful drought we had in '16 or I'll be doing a lot of watering!
I'm looking forward to seeing everybody's garden! Thanks Much!

As much as I would love to participate, I must regrettably abstain from your generous offer. One year I tried the three sisters technique and even want as far as place previously frozen cat fish in each mound, such as was described in the lore of the Plymouth, Mass. Pilgrims. The project was a miserable failure. The corn could not cross pollinate properly and fungus also took over many of the ears. The beans, which were lima, failed as well. The squash (butternut) was fair, and the pumpkins took over everything. Good luck to all prospective participants. Great idea.

Man, I wish I still lived in the house where I had an acre of open land in the backyard. That's where the beginning of my gardening began. Now, I only have about a quarter of what I had space for when the me and the family moved back to a closer neighborhood. I still have my raised garden box, which I still use, but don't have enough space for those kind of plants to grow. So I won't be entering the giving and hope it goes to someone who has enough land to use it. Then, again I may check out the website to check out what small plants I would be able to grow.

Along with the three sisters tail, any reporting on laying a fish in the bed for organic growing matter/compost? Would a fresh fish work just as well as a rotting one? How deep? Will your dog dig up the fish? Will your dog keep the crows from your corn seeds? My dog would, she loves to chase crows, and I don't have to imagine her digging up a rotten fish under the corn. I need to give this a try. I will look into the seed company. Great continuation.

I'll be sending you a email shortly! As to hints for production look into deep mulch gardening. I am working with it starting last fall. There are a bunch of videos here about it. The Boss of the Swamp has a few good ones. I planted Baker Creek purple pole beans last season, turned out great and I saved seeds for this season. Good luck!

i think you would find this old book of interest, titled Native American Gardening, Buffalobird-Womans Guide to Traditional Methods by Gilbert Wilson it was documented in early 1900's. this lady was born in a village in knife river in 1839.
