Turn lawn into food on a budget|Meredith Thomas|Central Texas Gardener
Tips, Tricks
When Meredith Thomas traded lawn for something her family could eat, she relied on scavenged materials to build her ever-producing vegetable beds. Putting discarded materials back into use, she builds trellises, beds, and even a hugelkultur with a keyhole concept addition. She doesn't buy fertilizer. To nourish her plants, she simply tucks in plant waste or fish heads free from a local seafood store. She adds art to the garden, too, with simple finds that in in her creative hands, take on a lovely new purpose. Music provided by Freejay MacLoud. Find out more at www.klru.org/ctg.

Do you have trouble with fire ants in your raised beds? I live near Waxahachie and have a lot of trouble in my raised beds and don't want to use poisons to get rid of them. Any suggestions?

I love what she did with the walkways and pea gravel..minimal design with a big impact. Much better than a dirt path that later turns to mud when wet. Yuck. I would LOVE to see a couple beehives mixed in among the garden.
