Guest guest Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 In a few days I am getting a fig tree and I am going to plant my avocado seeds. Until I get the fig tree I am going to build a mini plastic green house. It doesn't even matter what the climate zone... The weather is so outta wack, I don't even know how to dress! The weather don't know what it wants. Ehhh but I will check into that compost thing. I just grinded sea shells and egg shells into a fine powder. Anything organic I am putting it in the dirt! : ) Thanks.

Loosen it up, and mix in the compost. You can buy it by the bagful at any home/garden center, and lots of towns (I'm assuming you live in the US) offer it free to the residents. Whether or not you can grow avocados would depend on what climate zone you live in. Go to your local library and pick up a couple books on vegetable gardening, they will tell you what zone you're in, and anything else you need to know to get started. Good luck and Happy harvests, While digging my garden I have noticed how poor the soil is. It is so poor the grass barely grows, literally. The soil has cement rocks, stones. To fertilize it I have been putting miracle grow and coffee ground on it. I am planning to grow radish, beets, potatoes, peas, tomatoes, string beans, corn iceberg and grand ripids lettuce, large cherry tomatoes, okra, and parsely. Spaceing and fertilizing tips would be a great help. This is my first garden I also want to grow avocado... Can this be done?... I love avocada. Thanks for your time.
