Something positive





This is the very lazy start to the 13 x 20 ft. perennial herb garden, which we'll try to do no-till style:

A layer of grass, weeds, and some leftover hay from the barn, mixed with a little bit of compost. Watered it a bit to help everything break down a little more quickly. On goes the plastic and the wood to weigh it down.

I took this picture to show that it's not too much of an eyesore in the neighborhood! You can barely see it, off to the right.



After all the grass and weeds break down (hopefully killing the sod in the meantime), maybe we'll buy a load of compost or planter's mix to put on top, and then plant into that. Then mulch it.
