Preparing for my fall garden
Today I cleaned up the played out rows of green beans, corn, and tomatoes then started getting the ground prepped for a few second crops and the fall garden. This year I had a nut grass problem in the new addition to the garden. My goal is to till those areas every other week when they pop back up. I was told on a garden site that you can get rid of it after 3 or 4 tills. I pulled up my leeks and green onions then planted them in containers with rabbit manure and leaf compost. That compost has already doubled the size of the tomato plants I planted a week ago. I bought some beef steaks that were about a foot tall and planted them deep to the top leaves. I have been chipping tree limbs and mixing it with leaf mulch then putting it under rabbit cages. It only takes a month under the cages to break down. I rake and turn it every day. 4 weeks ago my rabbit population doubled so in a few more weeks my compost factory will double its output. Are any of you going to plant a fall garden? It will be time to start planting some varieties in 8 to 10 weeks.
