Using cardboard is a good way at recovering weedy garden space. I laid my cardboard down on some tall grasses and then covered it up with unsifted clay soil. I then found the lowest depression and cut a hole large enough to use my 4" superdigger. I dug and filled the hole with my soil mixture and then planted my corn seeds.
I laid some spoiled hay around the hole so I would remember its location. It also makes good mulch.
Finding my corn seeds was easy to do when I have a special container. As long as I put the seeds back into the container, I know where to find them. I usually buy my seeds in the fall when they go on sale.
After my work was done and before it got too hot I hurried to see what new flower had bloomed this morning.
I saw a daylily.
I also saw a bloom on one of my small marigold plants.
Every garden habitat gets their visitors. This dragonfly enjoys wheat tassels as much as I do. I called my daughter out to see our visitor and they became friends.
You never know what you will find in your garden habitats.
Last night I added biochar oak leaf mulch to my onions. This batch was more like cooked leaves than biochar. At least it had no bugs in the mulch. It was very clean.
