(TONS of links below!!!) Sometimes you have to make compromises to grow food! I never wanted to use landscape fabric in the garden, and I do really prefer the no-til method, but every location has different challenges and thus there is no one-size-fits-all approach to successful gardening. Don’t believe the Rockefeller robots, who typically have no more than a few potted plants! Life happens and we must respond accordingly. Correction: Obviously, I meant that it was the end of April, not May. Silly, silly. Also, I interrupted myself and meant to say that Dave doesn’t tolerate yarrow, and I don’t use it myself much. So out it goes. As the environment changes, so must our gardening strategies.

Here we finish the old man trail with an expansion of the paw paw area, going thicker there, and extending it to the circle garden. We also expand the southern section and make a new path there also. Approx 300 more bags. My back it telling me that's enough for the year. Then we discuss strategic bag location - shredded vs non-shredded, and why we put them in various places. This last video is going to act as a segue into a sheet mulching comprehensive guide video that is coming up next - in 2 days. After that we have a hugelkulture video, and a giant compost pile - a next level compost pile. That's right - we did 4 videos this weekend! They are coming every 2 days this week! ____________ Doing shopping on Amazon?
