Well weve been busy since I last posted. I couldnt find any newspaper to cover the grass with as we tend to use it on our guinea pig lol. So I pulled all our moving boxes out of the garage and Im going to use them. IF it ever stops raining long enough!
Good idea about hiring a tiller, I never even thought of that. We are thinking of tilling it a few times, over fall and cover it with cardboard until spring to stop the grass coming back. Hopefully that will work and it wont need much work come spring
Plus its had time to rest before we plant.
Im going to the library tomorrow, armed with more knowledge than usual now! Thanks so much for the advice.
I will also look into the no till gardening. I wonder how that works? Wouldnt the grass take all the nutrients away from the plants?
Mamabear- Im interested in how you run the sugar operation??? I dont plan on doing it, just curious how that all works. I think you are a few years ahead of us, we were dreaming about it this time last year! Im so glad it worked out for all of us. I also have a huge pile of wood waiting to be chopped up. Thats dh job though lol.
I have a habit of taking on too much, its my middle name, you think Id have learnt not to by now LOL
