I BECAME A WHEATGRASS FAN

The God factor in gardening is when God gives you wisdom or an idea that improves your gardening. God is wisdom and today I learned that wheatgrass or young straw has some valuable uses.

Today I planted some more carrots. I increased my bed size.

I had to cut up some aged hay from a bale and sprinkled it on top of my carrot seeds for a covering that fosters quick growth. Light mulch does wonders in helping seeds germinate and come up quickly. The problem with hay mulch, however, is that it is too dense with leaves, debris, and thick grasses.

Solution: I juice wheatgrass everyday. Why not grow wheatgrass for your plants? Look at those nice delicate blades of grass:

  

When I grow my wheatgrass in buckets I trim them when I make juice. The wheatgrass keeps on growing like grass in your yard that had been cut. Why not grow an extra bucket or two and harvest the cut grass? As you keep harvesting the grass you can dry it out in the hot sun or perhaps on a rack so air can get on all side. The mulch that you will obtain from your newly planted seeds will be like green gold or heavenly mulch.
