Well, this has been a unique year! Normally I would lug muck from housed cattle and lambing ewes in December, Chuck on garden, watch rot down, sow in spring, eat eat and eat!
My 2 long raised beds, 22ft long, 1 is 6ft wide, the other is 4ft ish (wider one end than the other, just slightly!) are not going to be getting the above this year due to lack of muck (by choice) which means the rampant squashes have been replaced with rampant weeds!
I have looked into no dig by that Charles guy but I don't have the cardboard. I have looked online about buying some but the price is astronomical for the thickness I will need.
So, was wondering, has anyone used the black haylage wrap off the round bales to kill the weeds and then pull off when ready to put the compost on?
