Vegetable Gardening

[mudmucker]

I'll check out that book by Eliot Coleman. I have some other bibles I use that I bought in the 80's, so I have heard of the "hot frame" with the hot unripe horse manure. Interestingly, there is a barn that boards horses a quarter mile down the road but I've never made an attempt to get any.

But sigh, my lack of full sun in many parts of the property is the biggest drawback. I still end up having a decent garden though. Although, I pretty much get full sun after the leaves drop.

For those of you with deer problems, have you ever heard of the water scarecrow? It has a sensor for up to around 35 feet. Obviously it may not be suitable for some setup situations but it might be a viable option for someone. It's fairly costly though but I've seen them for around $65. I have no idea how effective they really are.
