Kevin, I don't know if you or Eric have ever tested this garden hack, but the revolutionary hack I tried this year and it actually worked: I started carrot seeds indoors in egg flats (the 30 egg cartons). I always struggle with germiniating carrots. I forget to water them, i put a board on top to keep the water in the soil and forgr tto rmeove it etc. This year Icut the bottoms out of each egg cell in a 30 egg flat, filled eith potting soil and planted seeds and started them indoors with my tomatoes and peppers. It was easy to remembe rwatering rhem, i thinned them out at eye kevel om a shelf and then just transplanted the whole egg carton into the garden - bonus the egg csrton workd as a great mulch to keep weeds down and will break down in the garden.

I have a lot of sweet asylum growing in my vegitable garden right now. I decided to throw wild flowers to give more flowers to the birds and bees. They're growing all around my tomatoes, and I'm happy to see this. I live in Georgia and have been trying to make my clay into nutritional soil. This year, I added a lot more compost from my bin and wood chips. I see so many beneficial insects and isopods in my garden now.

About to start my own raised bed for the first time, I know I'm a little late to the season, but I still have faith! Wish me luck!
