    Hi Patty – The 3- …
    Hi Patty – The 3-Sisters are an integral part of our native heritage…it was called “good use of the avail soil” – The corn supported the beans & the squashed shaded their roots. Do some research on culinary dishes of the 3-Sisters. Lots out there. Did you know that plants will also EXTRACT toxins out of the earth ? There are even plants that will extract toxins from the water as well. We discussed planting non-edible 3-Sisters plants at Six Nations Reserve in Ont. for that very purpose.

    The main thing with …
    The main thing with lumber used for bins/boxes in planting is not to use treated lumber. Also I know that redwood is toxic to our lungs. Many native american tribes documented this,and I researched it back in the 90’s when I got a lung illness after living under redwood trees in Santa Cruz mountains. I’m not sure if planting in redwood emits the same toxins,something to research for sure.

    What kind/type of lumber are you using….?

    I am always scared lumber is toxic some kind of way.

    What are your lumber deminsions, thickness and again type and perhaps cost?

    How long do these thick plants last?
