Is there a particular type of winter rye that you use?
I had to watch again as a refresher for me 🙂 Thanks
So looking at part 2 of this today, it appears you laid down another piece of cardboard next to this one, which is the one you speak of that eventually blew away, correct?
can alfaalfa reclace winter rie?
Canadian boxes are also clean.
You didn't say, so I wonder if you know. Cardboard made in America is almost exclusively made with cornstarch glue. It's biodegradeable, and many composting creatures will eat it. The glue is a composting green, by the way.
Mark, Thank you for your video — I am fascinated by the comparison of the no-cardboard vs. the cardboard cover/mulch.
Question: What would happen if yo changed the size of the cardboard? E.G., 1. chopped/shredded,
2. 2" X 3" pieces, 3. 6" X 6" pieces, or 4. ???? I think that a good layer of soil would prevent the pieces from
blowing away. Has anyone tried this? I would like feedback on this idea because I want to learn. Thank you.
Thank you very much for the great information, I always heard of using coffee grounds in the garden, but I guess I just needed a good reason to do it, and you gave it to me, didn't know it was good for mold and mildew, I'm in.
Starbucks gives all of their coffee grounds for free.
Thank you! These videos are just great and I am going to try to remember to always have a living cover on my vegetable garden soils to protect soil microbial life.
I have been collecting coffee grounds and using them on my soils in Southeastern Australia for several years where they seem to attract many worms.
Thanks for this great video! I am planning to start growing my own food this spring/now, as a beginner. But I live in Europe and I have a tiny backyard lawn and it is shady; few rays of light on sunny days but no direct sunlight on this spot, yet it’s not completely dark or covered by trees etc. Could anyone with gardening knowledge and experience, please advise 1) what vegetables can grow here successfully? 2) If I can literally just use this method of placing only 2 items, coffee/compost and cardboard, no additional manure, grass, wood, leaves, top soil etc which lasagna/other videos suggest? Thanks in advance for a quick and comprehensive response and any useful information and tips!
This was very informative. Thank you!
I got a 5gal of coffee grounds every day from D D for my blueberries.
How does used coffee grounds affect the acidity of the earth? Thanks for doing these videos. Subscribed.
So it didn't work?
I planted lettuce seeds directly into an inch of coffee grounds and the lettuce is growing really well !!!! No till gardening works ok for me !!!!
Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate your advise and helpful videos, however, showing what it's supposed to look like when it's finished would be a huge improvement on this video.
Very valuable information along with hands on demonstrations. Thanks mark
What about piling up hay on top of each other?
I seem to remember that rye roots can penetrate down to 2,5 meters or 8 feet.
6:20 min Love the hammer and holes in cardboard. Any other tips on making cuts or holes for say vegetables?
This is an option. I just wanted to note that sheet mulch gardening systems do not all require digging up the lawn unless you have Bermuda grass, which you would definitely want to remove entirely. Many successfully sheet mulch right over the top of a lawn.
You talk too much!
Isn’t brewed coffee grounds acidic?
Thank you.
Raised bed with built in swales would be a great description for this.
Binge watching your videos and I keep thinking about this one.
I'd like to try this but I haven't seen you do it since.
Would you still recommend using cardboard, or would you seed the whole area with cover crops?
Where do you buy bulk seeds?
I didn't see when you put the coffee grounds on it.
