I went one day with some gloves, pruning sheers, and cardboard to start the no-dig garden process. It wasn't easy. The compost bin was upside down, the land had dips where rabbits or other small critters had dug in under the snow during previous winters, and a bunch of those three foot tall weeds were some sort of mint.
Just a few days later the weeds were already looking pale and sickly. It was a few days before I could get sawdust for the paths so it sat as just cardboard over the weeds for a while. |
Beds and paths complete. The sawdust was from a local community wood shop and the compost had been provided for the community garden from municipal green-waste. |
End of October. Tarped for the winter. |
Mid November. Some ice puddles but over all looking good. |
That's about it til I order seeds in January. I'll try to remember to post then.
