Our garden when I was a child we used cut up table scraps, coffe grounds, and cow manure for our vegetables garden. It was only half an acre, cause the chicken coop took up a good area. When we picked fruit from our orchards we just ate it. Times were different then. What kind of water does the locals use to raise their crops in the area?

When you write a post, but change your mind.

Didnt know vegetable gardens were allowed in TV. I guess I'm wrong. Does that also mean you need a fence around it to keep the rabbits out.

It was done within a few minutes of the original post, so why not just go back and delete or edit it?

And if you've changed your mind, it seems to me you would want to explain what it was you changed your mind about.

Oh well, thanks for at least having the courtesy to answer.

When someone edits their post, or wants to erase it, 3 letters/numbers/symbols must be entered for the edit to take place.

Once you create a post you cannot delete it. The closest you can come to a deletion is to edit the post. The convention is to leave 3 marks of some kind after deleting what was originally written.

There is a method to leave an explanation if you wish, but few do that.

So you can't just delete the entire post (like if you wrote something you decided wasn't appropriate), you can only edit and you have to put three of something in there?

I have never heard of that, but at least I think I understand now.

Thank you.

I have a private area against a wall in my flower garden where I put a small raised bed. So far, no rabbits, herbs are growing like crazy.

Thanks for the explanation.

What about Bump -- does that mean the same thing?

No.....bump only moves an old post to a new post to keep it alive.

There used to be a way to "delete" a post that we changed our mind about but not any more so the required 3 characters or symbols is taken care of by simply using ///. Actually any 3 symbols or characters will work.
