http://GardenBed.notlong.com 23 March 2007 Zone 5. The soil is too wet to work. I had some straw used as mulch to winter protect my Canna Lilies, so I decided to shred it and place on the garden bed to increase the fibre content. It will be rototilled into the soil when the moisture content is appropiate. I found that the straw almost completely disappears come planting time about the 24 of May or earlier. http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html 2007 Journal with some posts that are relevant for all years.
