Me moving all the bricks yesterday: “I am strong! I am powerful! I am an independent viking woman!” Me today: I hurt so bad😫 My husband: Those bricks weigh 40 pounds each. Why didn’t you ask me to help you move them??? ANYWAY: here is part 1 of our new blueberry bed. #gardentok #growblueberries #blueberrytiktok #garden #gardening #gardenproject #gardendiy #gardendesign #raisedbedgarden #raisedbed #raisedbedgardens
Replying to @Kairo this is such a great point. Here is some more info on what the swabs are for and how they work. You can also watch this video where I talk about how this applies to testing KitchenAid Mixer paddles:@Carissa–Creative Green Living #leadtesting #leadtest #leadtestswabs #leadtestswabs #leadtestingforchildren #leadtesterfail #leadtestchallenge #leadsafemama #leadsafety
#stitch with @Just Jordan Things ooh me! I can help! My name is Carissa, I know a lot about lead, lead poisoning and lead safety standards in the US. I write about it for work and in 2017 @leadsafemama_2022 and I tested more than 100 fidget spinners for lead and got Target to stop selling leaded fidgets to kids.
We’ve been busy building! We built our asparagus bed on TT live a couple weeks ago but here is the finished project. Bed is built the same way this one is>> @Carissa–Creative Green Living (just shaped like a rectangle). #gardenproject #garden #gardening #gardentiktok #asparagus #asparagus101 #asparagusfern #asparagusseason #asparagusgardening #zone8 #zone8bgarden
This is our second garden area expansion this year: turning part of thr field into a pumpkin and squash patch. We got about 40-50 squash and pumpkin plants in thr ground but we still have so much room. What do you think i should add to this space? #pumpkinpatch #gardenproject #gardentok #gardendesign #gardendiy #gardentrellis #squashtrellis #zone8garden #zone8b #zone8bgarden #zone8bgardening #gardenadvice #gardenadventures #gardenadditions
Replying to @ambrose4510 the netting on our trellis will hold hundreds of pounds of tomatoes. AND its compostable - so we just cut it down and compost it at the end of the season. #gardentrellis #gardentrellises #gardenhack #gardenhacks #tomatogarden #tomatogardening #gardentok #homesteadtoktok #organicgardening #squarefootgardening #zone8
#stitch with @viciousfishes Drew asked for feedback on their trellis. This A frame structure is a good design but don’t underestimate how much produce you’ll end up with! Here’s one design idea to make it strong enough to hold however many tomatoes and cucumbers you could possibly grow for about $20. #gardentok #gardenproject #gardeninghacks #gardendiy #gardendiyproject #gardentrellis #growtomatoes #growcucumbers
Seed tape is super easy to make at home and helps you get your plant spacing just right. Its also fun to make and plant with kids! #gardentok #gardeninghacks #gardeningtips #gardendiy #carrotplant #gardeningwithkids #seedstartingtips #seedstarting #seedstartinghacks #squarefootgardening #organicgardening #zone8bgarden #zone8gardening #zone8agardening
