    Hydroponic gardening kits in your living room via Home Lohas

    ByThe Cheap Vegetable Gardener

    width=”549″ height=”366″ /> Here are some awesome modular hydroponics setups by Home Lohas.  Pretty much a supersized version of an Aerogarden, they use timers and proprietary selection of nutrient solutions to provide produce without soil and advertised in harvest times with 30% less time. They use a full spectrum LED light system to provide adequate light without running up a huge water bill.  Lights/pumps are completely automated so pretty…

      width=”550″ height=”412″ /> So you want to build a pond in your garden? There is a right way and a wrong way to go about it.

    Latticework that Works!

    ByThe Cheap Vegetable Gardener

    width=”550″ height=”373″ /> Lattice fencing has been a go-to tool for gardeners forever. Its classic crisscross or grid structure has remained unaltered since its inception for one reason: it works! And as we all know, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Indeed, the lattice is the one "fixing" things – it provides privacy fencing for yards, serves as a blank canvas for clinging vines and ivy, helps climbing…

    How to make a self watering planter with a 5 gallon bucket

    ByThe Cheap Vegetable Gardener

    width=”550″ height=”309″ border=”0″ /> Container gardening can be an excellent way to take advantage of normally unusable space on your patio or garden.  The main problem I have with container gardens is they can dry out very quickly and for plants like tomatoes and cucumbers this can be a quick death for your plants, my solution to this was to build a self watering planter using just a few…

    Smart Garden Tools Need Smart Storage

    ByThe Cheap Vegetable Gardener

    width=”550″ height=”360″ /> There’s nothing more gratifying on a sunny winter’s morning than going to the basement or garage and stepping on a rake.  Yes, the joy of watching that well-worn hickory handle swing up and catch you right in the coffee cup (and then the nose) is an experience underappreciated by those who don’t garden.  But what really makes the experience is dumping that hot coffee onto one…

    How to keep termites out of your home

    ByThe Cheap Vegetable Gardener

    width=”549″ height=”366″ border=”0″ /> Termites are the last insect most homeowners ever want to see on their property.  Their voracious appetite for wood can do untold damage to even the newest and best-built homes in any neighborhood. Making sure they don’t do this to you takes persistence and anticipation.  Waiting for signs of termites before you initiate a treatment program is the wrong way to handle it.  If you…
