I have been amending soil for about 18 months in neglected garden of new home. I daily add coffee and grounds left over mixed with water into soil - is this helpful or waste of time. Georgia 8a
Hey neighbor (8b)! I'm slowly transforming what I call "clay mountain" with leaves, chipped trees & compost. My oldest bed is ~3 years old and is now incredibly rich! To create a new bed, I pile 6"-8" of materials in the area. Then, let it break down for a few seasons. It amends while I'm planting the previous bed. I've had poor results with sheet mulch. The cardboard just sits on top of the clay & collected water. So don't give up! You'll get there.
Beautiful! Yay for the homeowner catching the garden bug!
Lovely. Yes, keep us updated with tours please.
How beautiful! and fun!
This is wonderful. Welcome, new gardener 💚🌱. The path with ground cover is going to be so pretty. Looks great already!
I got a Root Slayer this past Spring- LIFECHANGER!
Praying for rain😊

😂 that bug bites HARD 🌱
I have elfin thyme full sun rocky area AND blue star creeper in a part shade area. I looooooove both of them
Yup, my soil looks like that too. Except, half my soil is actually rocks. 😢
