RE: Wild-Tip: Prep Before You Plant
Nice to hear your voice!! You have inspired me to do the same thing - I am getting a heap of newspaper from my nephew's paper run (they always give him extra) and you know I stillhave 25 metres of mulch to use! It's going around some existing fruit trees but will be neglected-not-neglected whilst we travel next year, ready for planting next late Spring (though I'll probalby have to buy seedlings as I won't be around to grow them!). Going to lasagne method a little - put a heap of chook/alpaca manure down, some straw from chook coop, then paper, then the hardwood mulch.
Thank you! :) Doing video is new for me but I like it--in many ways it's faster than writing up a post but I'm still figuring D.Tube. Not used to using it yet... I want to do more video in the long run and I may stick with a short video each weekend.
That sounds great! Just a heads up sometimes newspaper takes long to fully breakdown than cardboard does. The pieces can get matted together and stick around for a little bit. But it does not seem to cause any problems in my growing areas--I just find pieces of newspaper when planting that I just stick back under the mulch. Good luck! :)
