Do you have grass that needs to be removed? Let your bagged garden soil do the job for you!

But I did it for weeds. The empty bags work fine too!

Hi Everybody!! Let us talk native.

That is a great idea, that way you don't have to store the full bags and you don't have to mulch over them.
Excellent

So this is what they mean when they say that you can improve your lawn by throwing a few bags of compost onto it?

Just because it ISN'T complicated doesn't mean I can't MAKE it complicated!

I plan to kill all the grass in my entire back yard this way and replace it with "no mow" grass (only gets 5" tall) seed from High Country Gardens and native ground cover plants. I wish I'd remembered to have a baby so I'd now have a grown son to help me with all the lifting!

Decisions, decisions.
I tried a couple of usernames and have finally settled on:

crittergarden.

That's it, no more changes. I'm done. I will be crittergarden here, on Cubits, and when I renew my Dave's Garden subscription on Noveber 4, I'll be crittergarden over there, too. DONE!~~~ UNTIL ONE HAS LOVED AN ANIMAL, PART OF THEIR SOUL REMAINS UNAWAKENED ~~~

Hey Critterlover...had you remembered and the baby was a girl would she help?

Now I know what to do with the empty 50#bags of dog food. Sure and I wish I could line up that much dirt

I had a pile of bags out behind my 2nd garage of things like manure, black dirt, sand ...they actually grew to the ground!!!! After digging it out, I used the manure in some compost this year....someone asked me if it was aged. I said "OOoooh yaz!!!!"
