I do remember that! My mother had a canary. She showed me the birdseed and said "These make him sing." Boy did that bird sing. He warbled all morning long. It was beautiful. I wonder if canaries sing and lovely these days.
Well, get it started so it will work. Bury some compost, cover with lotsa loverly woodchips, and plant. Come fall cover with good chicken run compost on top of the wood chips. Spring plant. Fall compost. No digging after that first year. Bob's your uncle. :highfive:
Good luck!
Wow! How do you transplant "shortly" in PA? In my area of Northwest NJ (right next to the Delaware River) we are about to turn into an ice skating rink with this storm. There will be no digging till March or April.
To me this one is the standard. Yes, pricey, but will stand the test of time. These things have been handed down through generations over and over. Why buy a starter that you'll only outgrow? If you really don't want to continue canning I'd think this would be super easy to sell...
Wood chips on top help keep weeds down cuz the blown in seeds can't reach the soil and germinate and they keep the soil moist. I put wood chips in the chicken run too. Keeps the run dry, no mud. Love Paul Gautschi for gardening info. Love this site for chicken info!
I've gotten through 27 pages here, great stuff! But have yet to see anyone mention Back To Eden gardening. I'm about to turn 67 and am begining this method. No tilling. Do a youtube search on Paul Gautschi. A channel by L2survive has dozens of videos of Paul. Paul is very crippled but does all...
