Bobert: "This week I hope to get the newspaper, cardboard and first layer of compost down in the two future veggie raised beds lasagna beds..."

Managed to railroad my Mr. into accepting that I WILL be putting down cardboard & mulch again over the bare earth (after all the exhausted herb & veg. plants have been pulled up) in my wee kitchen garden.

He sneered and was resistant at the idea as looking "messy". I think what do I care, so long as I don't haveta deal with loads of weeds - my little potager is the only bit of the garden that isn't covered in 'em right now! Cardboard is my friend!
