What I learned from cardboard sheet mulch is remove the packing tape
if you have trouble with mosquitos in your rain barrel you could just add a couple of fish. I had this problem, added a couple of goldfish and don't have any mosquitos anymore + I get water with fertilizer in it for my plants
Just a small note, concrete blocks are just fine to use in a garden, but true cinder blocks will actually leach ash and heavy metals into the garden, making it poisonous. Luckily, in America, at least, new "cinder blocks" are actually concrete blocks.
Yes about the ‘garden burnout’. It’s real 😂 I love my garden but yes, I do get a little lazy around August. I sit and stare at my peppers, telling myself I’ll pick them tomorrow and preserve them in some way, but sometimes I let it slide.
When i buy transplants I look for multiple plants in the pot that I can separate and save money
I've been doing the cardboard thing for years. Just don't use glossy stuff. Chip boxes from the grocery are best - non glossy and usually no tape, and really big. If you ask nicely they will be happy to give you some!
Rain barrel mod, have a layer of screen on the top of barrel to keep mosquitoes out/in
I love to see people passionate about gardening.
I once grew a giant morning glory vine from a crack in the sidewalk next to my porch
7:45 "I'm getting triggered".... Rest assured we were right there with you on that 😂
