Gaston, do you lay cardboard down first, or newspaper, or just lots of leaves? I stopped by a landscapers and asked what they do with all the leaves they clean up for people, and he dumps em in the woods nears his house and would be more then happy to deliver a truck load to my house for me!! Sweeeet deal ah!!

So im expanding my garden, I want a pumpkin patch and squash patch.

Newspaper first, the thicker the better. It's easier than most cardboard to get a trowel through in order to set your plants. If you have a local newspaper publisher they usually have bundles that they'll give you, and if you start now you'll likely get as many as you can haul off. In the spring you get beat to them by other gardeners and people packing to move.

I've got kneesles. It's like measles, but in the knees. My knees are all red and hurt like shit from crawling around in the garden putting down newspaper and covering it up with leaves and yard clippings. Hopefully I'm done for the year and the symptoms will pass on their own without medication, although I have my eye on some Hobgoblin ale as a palliative. I understand that the hops does wonders for pain.

Luckily I was wearing good boots, so I didn't get toe-lio. And, my boxer shorts didn't ride up, so I didn't get smallcocks.

Get your vaccines, folks, it's a sick world we live in.

LOL! I've missed you guys! I've been too long without a good random laugh.
Well all the moving is done now (at least the out part, still a ways to go on the in part ) so hopefully I'll be able to stop in more often. Though now I have an overwelming amount of garden space to get ready for spring. I hope everyone has been happy and thriving while I was gone.

Libra, did you decide on a name for your teas?

Hey!!!! Ive been wondering how youve been! So glad the move is done, and good luck with the in part

Dirt Road Herbals, for now. I may change it, its not set in stone or anything. Ive got an etsy store up and running, gotta add the teas yet. Hopefully next week I can work on packaging some up.
