herb garden

here is what i am working right now.

im creating alot of interest with the tea mixes that i have been putting together.
so i know that next year i need at least 3 times the herbs i had left over this year.

so i am creating garden beds at two friends houses [thank the goddess for good friends!!!!]

they are lasagna mulch beds.

seaweed
cardboard
seaweed
hay
maple leaves
reused grower dirt
sowed rye and veg[on the edges]
and then a thin layer of maple leaves that are more decomposted to deter them beautiful birdies from eating my seed.



 

Garden 1 - this is the garlic planted already. the area behind is what i am transforming

in this garden i lay carpet down on the seaweed before the cardboard beacause there is a ton of salal that grows here.

Garden 2 - this one is almost done! just have to sow the rye and away we go!!!

today

more seaweed today
the snow melted for the most part last night beacuse of the rain.
steve came and got the seaweed with me today.
that felt really nice,.
getting tired of doing all of these projects by myself.

spread out seaweed, layer of cardboard, and then went back for another round.
but now i think i need to nap.
