Nematodes are simply worms that infest potatoes.   Has anyone experienced them?    Did anyone try to combat them using chemicals or some organic method?  Well, one organic way is by planting marigolds.

I saw this case on the net.  However, the solution is quite simple, one proposed by this certain person.

Basically, the problem with the leaves probably arose due to a magnesium deficiency and the cure involves mixing Epsom salts, a handful, and water - enough for three plants each delivery.

Using manure can sometimes lead to too much nitrogen in the case of carrots.  However, what about other vegetables?

OK, what are other ways that too much nitrogen can seep into a crop - other than buying fertilizer with too much?

From what I read, heat and humidity pretty much stifle the plant's ability to produce fruit.  In that case, watering is constantly necessary in certain climates.   In fact, I think tomatoes only grow naturally in certain climates - any guess where that might be?  My guess it would be less hot and humid mountain climates, especially considering the plant originated in the mountains of Peru.

Anyone eat them, raise but only sell them?  Does anyone use them for decorations?  Does anyone use them for food and decorations? 

OK, what do you all consider the best strategy for growing and/or selling them?  Is the growing market saturated?

Has anyone dealt with garden boxes?  What's your story?  Anyway, someone online was considering doing something similar to the one in the following question:

What depth should the loam in a garden box be - if the box is 10 (length) X 3 feet  (width) and 10 inches deep?

Any ideas?

I'm Jason from Northeast Tennessee USA and I'm happy to be on this gardening forum.  Anyway, my hobbies are playing musical instruments - with my best and favorite one being the drums - and also 3D art creation and jogging.

OK, I have grown up in the country - so gardening is something I'm familiar with - but due to the change in times, I was never gardening like my parents were.

How often should they be changed?  Note, I was reading that the top half of the compost should be changed yearly.  Does anyone do that?  According to what I read, it gets rid of old fertilizer and pests.

A lot of towns use chlorinated water in their water supply - and it can be a major mistake to use it on your plants.  However, some say the chlorine is gone once it goes thru a garden hose.  Is that true?  Anyway, what are some methods of removing chlorine from water and is there water you can get, other than rainwater, that is chlorine-free?

Considering the three major types: sand, loam, and clay, loam is the best type.  Nonetheless, that's not saying crops cannot be grown on other types.   OK, what crops has anyone grown on clay and sand?  Has anyone grown on a mix between the types?  I think that situation would be what most real farmers face.
