Researching for the Future and Inspirations from my Past

I've been doing some research over the past few days. A lot of the gardening websites (and books) say the same thing over and over and over again. Yes, I get it plants need sun, soil, and moisture. A 3rd grader could have told me that.

Well, here are a few good links with helpful information for planning a veggie garden.

Companion Planting List http://www.ghorganics.com/page2.html
It's a really straightforward list of different plants. Each plant has a paragraph or so of what it does to help your garden, what you might plant with it, or what not to plant with it.

Rooth Depth & More http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/hil-33-e.html
All you would want to know about the preferences of plants' roots. Technical but, easily deciphered. An it has a neat little table.

My Inspiration http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/05/ff_domestic_terraforming/ Might as well admit it, this article inspired me to finally transform my balcony. I wanted to garden after seeing Fritz Haeg's work, but this [rather useless] article reminded me that I could do it even if it was mid-June!

Fritz Haeg http://www.fritzhaeg.com/ His Edible Estates project is so cool. It doesn't seem like a big deal, but I that's what makes it amazing- changing your yard into a productive garden isn't a big deal. His talk here at Auburn was also very informative, so glad I went.
