I got a little experience, just do not have the time now, but when I semi-retire, I plan on growing a whole lot of shit.
Any BGOL dudes into gardening?

Any of y'all plant anything to repel mosquitos, wasps, etc? I'm bout to get some lavender & rosemary to plant in my front yard. Not trying to have them winged terrorists hanging around my front door this year
I've got to repot a few of my houseplants but that is about the extent of my green thumb.
Crocosmia
Lowes and Amazon have these in stock. Im about to cop a few.

Need to buy another barrel before the weather gets warmer.
So far my lavender plants are doing well. I have about 5 planted in the front of my house with 1 in particular doing extremely well. Can't say the same for my rosemary plants though. While 1 of them is doing well, the other one has started to have brown leaves. I don't know if it's too much water or not enough. I recently added some more soil & mulch to the area around it as well as some plant food so I'll be monitoring it over the next few days but I'm worried it may be too late to save it 
Goddamnnn man lmao
not to mention the fucking roaches , rats and birds! You gonna learn when you plant yo shit for reals!
squirrels when motivated chew right through chicken wire
if you need to keep away racoons squirrels moles etc
use crushed red pepper flakes
grind some of it fine in a food processor and mix in with shallow soil around base of plants
also use generous amounts of flakes around garden perimeter and around base of plants above ground
water plants after placing flakes - add more flakes weekly or bi weekly
This shit is like tear gas for any pest that uses its nose - dogs n cats will stay away too
Or you can get the pellet gun and pluck them mfs until they die and just use em for fertilizer
I have Banana trees, cabbages, tomatoes, chinese long beans, rosemarie, kale, sun flowers etc.
Neem oil is the best natural insect repellent, when it comes to edibles.
Are these self made pallets or pre-made pallets.My pops had carrots, watermelons, onions, sweet potatoes, cucumbers and a whole lot of shit I can't remember...
My wife and I did a pallet garden in the back yard.....went pretty good until we got bored and that shit grew out of control....I finally pulled it up threw that shit away....
Pre-made. We just went to a home improvement store and they gave us as many as we wanted.
I got a question for you garden heads. How do I nuke the shit out of a section I want to do gardening on? It’s at the end of my yard. It’s all weeds. I was thinking of putting round up on it. It’s about 3 feet by four feet of fucking weeds.
best way for your health
easiest way for your back and knees
Good looking out! I ain’t gonna pull that shit up, it’s too dense. I was going to get a few dollars of gas and raze it. Or make some homemade napalm then saturate it.
Unfortunately you still gotta dig the root system up. My neighbor swears by vinegar (cleaning vinegar) and black plastic bags to kill an area. Spray heavily then cover the area with black plastic. Every thing should be killed in two o
Land is power but you got to have money to get land
had a few vines that grew concord grapes
How much maintenance are they?
not much
build 2 or 3 free standing lattices for them to climb / avoid growing on walls
plant where there will be lots of sunlight
as the vines grow - at 3 or 4 feet off the ground start moving them to grow horizontal strung along multiple lattice
after the vines grow to be approx 2' off the ground - line the base around the latices with limestones or limestone gravel
