Getting New Garden Beds Ready

New Garden Beds Jan 2012
My husband built three more 4x8 garden beds today out of 2x8 cedar wood. Together we put weed block and cypress mulch around the garden to keep weeds to a minimum. I found an organic weed killer that works: Natural Weed Control if some do still try to grow in the garden. I wish I could find a local place that carries horticultural vinegar, because I would make my own weed killer. I noticed with the Ollas, it helps with the weeds since the only water in the garden is around them. I'm creating a separate tab on this blog dedicated to my experiences using Ollas if anyone is interested. I have recycled paper  weed block that will go in the garden squares for weeds. This week we will be filling them with soil and horse manure from my diligent working horses. :) I also added a tab with my garden schedule of seed planting and estimated harvesting dates. I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather today.
