It takes some years, but it is worthwhile and it is even the cheapest method. And keep the<br />ground covered, that´s what nature does. Green manure is also a good idea to fertilize the garden ground.<br />ChristelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-11722892947454773582017-04-26T13:35:36.426-05:002017-04-26T13:35:36.426-05:00I would bet you have never had a broken raffle bar...I would bet you have never had a broken raffle barrel in your basement. <br />Sallyhttps://www.mynewenglandflowerbeds.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-42795513326533892052017-04-26T13:32:55.460-05:002017-04-26T13:32:55.460-05:00That's a sort of permaculture spin on the Must...That's a sort of permaculture spin on the Must Have Green Lawn.<br />No lawn here, but perhaps the odd stalk of wheat from the bales of straw we used as mulch in Porterville - and which hitched a ride in the pots I moved here.<br /><br />(My WFW post is coming up tomorrow)Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424277252952787351.post-75354203277480336662017-04-26T09:55:26.727-05:002017-04-26T09:55:26.727-05:00Thank you Sally.
