God damn evelys deleting my gardening thread.... and the rest of the forum, I guess.
So I picked up some stuff today, I've got my area marked off for my garden. it is an old, beat up flower bed that was in ruins before I bought the house 5 years ago and is now is dire need of replacement. But, it is going to be a good starting point I think. I already have an idea for where to put more raised beds if this thing takes off. Monday I'm going to mix in some leaves/assorted dead shit and throw weed block over the whole area for the duration of the winter. The idea being to kill any remaining weeds left after I turned the spoil the other day and make sure they don't come back.
I am not sure what to do about compost/mulch. My neighbor, who is a botanist and has a bangin garden, just has a pile behind his shed. But I've read that those things can spontaneously combust if you don't stay on top of turning them. So they sell these compost tumblers for like 50 bucks, but they are a little small. I am leaning towards the pile.
I have a long way to go, it seems, just because I don't know anything, But if i can get this to work next year then I think the following year will be much easier.
