Re: Hello.......
Hey BnG,
Just getting back to CZ from all my garden prep. Whew!
I layered the whole yard, about 1/4 an acre with cardboard, then added 3-4
inches of wood chips on top of that, then added a bale each of straw & alfalfa to the veggie patch, some of my home farmed worms, pine needles and rabbit pellets. What a treasure hunt to get all these things together, and to say nothing of the labor to lay them all out!
But in a few months it should have all been converted via ma nature via the worms, etc into the beginning of healthy black soil- and the crabgrass/weeds should be smoothered and taken care of.
A long explanation for my time away.
I also wanted to contact you to thank you again again for my new nickname, Miss D. I am going to be writing a column for a local magazine on urban homesteading, and I think that will be my pen name.
Thank you again,
Miss D...
