Winterizing
has begun. To try and get a heavy layer of mulch down in the garden I stated spreading
old newspapers and grocery adverts. I ran out half way though, but I wanted to
make sure it was very thick. I layer it with 6-7 unfolded sheets and then
scatter leaf/dirt/compost/mulch on top. Hopefully and seeds underneath are
smothered when they start to come up next year (the paper will act like the
garden-tarps) and will break down over next season to make a nice compost for
the veggies. We will have to cover it with a tarp as well to keep seeds that
haven’t fallen from being added to the top.
At the very
least, our little lizard and worm friends seem to like it when we add the
paper. It amazing how many earth worms we turn up when we layer paper out.
