Roll Out Garden: Grow Your Own Garden!

[Pengwuino]

The "Roll and grow"

Oh my god as we speak i am looking at a commercial for a "roll out garden". Yes, you heard it here, just like buying a modular lawn at the hardware store, you can now just buy a roll of seeds/"nutrients" and water it and it'll grow a garden on the little strip.

Those are great. I bought some for zinnias once about 6 years ago, and I throw the old seed pods down and leave them over the winter and in the spring, I have the lushest garden of zinnias year after year for free.

Yeah, it's not that bad of an idea. I never used it, but getting seeds started is the hardest part. And if you live in an apartment and just have a little patch of garden you want to spruce up, it's really easy.

I give up on life...

Why? What's so bad about it? Especially if you don't have good soil and need more time to get it conditioned, it's a good way to get some stuff growing right away, or maybe put in a temporary flower garden without having to do a lot of digging.

Let me guess, you like those little square meter lawn modules??

You mean sod?

Actually, I like gardening, but some people have a serious case of brown thumb, so for them, it seems like an easy way to get some flowers.

Pengwuino, I can't believe this. I agree with you.

100%.

I'm sorry for every bad thing I ever said about you.

(The roll and grow are so artificial. For god's sake buy a seed mix and toss it on the soil. It's no more work, I promise. You don't even have to cut the mat. And there's less manufacturing involved.)

 

[Moonbear]

Wow, I was going to continue to argue over this, but I've been so touched by the heartwarming display of patty and pengwuino agreeing over something that I just can't bring myself to do it.

Plants a roll of garden flowers around the two of them.
