The rhubarb we transplanted from the old house is looking good! This year will be the first harvesting year (for me), so I'm clipping rhubarb recipes like crazy.
The square-foot gardening beds (4x4') have been constructed and in place in the back yard for about three weeks. Yesterday, Mr. H added the weed-barrier cloth and filled the beds with a mixture of peat moss, compost, and vermiculite. He used four kinds of compost: our neighbor's home-cooked compost (made partly with our kitchen scraps), composted cow manure, mushroom compost, and my personal favorite, Chickity Doo Doo.
The grass is especially green because we just finished a rather rainy week. Nearly 2.5 inches!
Lucy doesn't know what to think about the boxes, but she obviously thinks the compost smells delicious.
You are not good candidates for fish emulsion fertilizer. No blood meal, either.
ReplyDeleteLucy would love either of those, even more than she LOVES Milorganite. We couldn't keep her out of the pots fertilized with that stuff last year.
