Just be sure to mix the grass in well, as it has a tendency to compact into a big wad that won't break down as quickly. Green grass will also be...
I'd stay away from the cedars, unless you're ok with having a bit of a dead zone underneath and the immediate vicinity. The bits that fall off...
Nuts. The side ones are much smaller than I'd like, especially for how big the plants are. Thanks for the response.
I have some broccoli plants that have overwintered, and are, frankly, enormous. Just recently, I've started seeing some florets growing from the...
I've always read that you can't plant brassicas in the same spot year after year. I guess that's not always the case, given mort's fortunes.
I ended up just letting mine bolt a month or so ago, and they ended up about 6 feet tall! I started noticing a decline in flavour as time went on,...

I'd get something to shade the salad greens. This heat will either kill them before they get going, or cause them to bolt before they're a couple...
Apologies if this has been covered a million times before, but I didn't see it after a quick search. I've heard that using newspaper with...
Eric: can I assume, then, that it would be wise to prune any yellow/yellowing leaves near the bottom of the plant to concentrate its energy on...
