I found an article on pinterest,when i get a chance i will get a link to it.It's about putting newspaper down,wetting it,adding the soil for a raised bed and then plant away.It says the newspaper will keep grass & weeds out.As it decomposes it'll give you good healthy earth worms and then breakdown completely.
I don't don't how every feels about worms but i have a worm bed that i take castings from & add to or around plants.Every gardener knows lots of earth worms means fertile soil,to bad i only have a colony of them down,down back.I rack back leaves that have been there years and have lots of rich mulch.
this is a pile of forest mulch i got last summer dumped right at the 2nd terrace,the one behind my house.Something is bedding down next to my compost pile the grass you see on it when you click on it has been pulled up & looks slung from side to side & the grass left is flatten next to the pile.
When i say down,down back i mean down back & then down the 3rd. terrace which ends in a creek before it goes back up hill.
Again thanks everyone,can't wait until the others come from Simply Succulents
include my first jovi
