Dove sheet? Please enlighten me. Beautiful container garden!
.
I'm going to go out "on a limb" here and say Dove poop was added. Poultry manure is some of the strongest stuff you can buy so maybe Dove poop is also.

Thanks. I feel sorta thick headed now. I thought maybe dove was another brand of drier sheet that you were using as some kind of insect repellant. tee hee .
Teresa, thanks for sharing photos of your successful container garden. If anyone has a challenging site, it's you. I can't wait to do some trading.
Susan, thanks for the kind words. I still want to document the transformation of your permaculture design for my website. We'll talk.
Gidget, I can't wait to meet you and as mentioned above, if you need help designing a sustainable edible site plan, give me a call.
Worms, all I can say is you're awesome. My worm farm has doubled and is producing a nice batch of worm tea every couple of weeks. The garden is a bit dry and crunchy since I was away, but I'm looking ahead to Fall.
Amazingly enough, the Malabar Spinach I got from Susan at the market has survived.

passionfruit, trash, herb spiral
Hello gardeners! Two questions:
1. Anybody know the best passionflower species to grow here for fruit -- also known as maypops; and are they self-fertile or must you have male and female plants?
2. Anybody got a lot of food scraps, leaves, pine straw, etc. that they want to unload ASAP? We are building our second lasagna-gardening-style herb spiral Sunday morning and will gladly incorporate as much of your compostable trash into our layers as we can get! Shrimp and crab shells, eggshells, stale bread, anything but weed seeds and high-fat items.
Okay, three questions.
3. Have you ever seen or made an herb spiral? Here's the youtube that taught us how:

We built our first one last summer and have enjoyed it so much, we're making another one!

composting with herbs
Sustainable garden spirals to life | Welcome to Walton Outdoors
Here's a story on a double South Walton composting herb spiral. Much thanks to everyone who participated -- especially since we managed to schedule this project for THE hottest June 21 of all time since records have been kept. Lori Ceier did a great job, managing to take pics AND tote bricks, then put it all together in a great story. Looks like Lori's been busy lately -- there are LOTS of interesting new stories up on her site.
Much thanks also to Chandra Hartman and Kat Provencher, who created the permaculture design for our house/yard, who taught the Intro to Permaculture class, and who keep encouraging us to continue our shift from poorly managed ornamentals and weeds to a productive, beautiful, and ultimately low-maintenance edible landscape.
And to Peter, for keeping all those bricks out of the landfill!

Very cool! I heard about it at the beach but couldn't quite picture what it looked like!
