Gardening Should be Easy!
It's a beautiful day here in Oklahoma which is really rare for the
end of January. So I am sitting here at the computer, looking out the window
and thinking, "Wow! Today would be a great day to begin the preparation
for a new garden. And it would be, and the timing would be perfect.
Many people don't plan far enough advance when it comes to gardening
and that's why they find it so challenging. For instance, if you went outside
today and . . .
1. Marked out a spot in your yard where you'd like to have
a new garden.
2. Laid down newspaper at least 9 pages thick.
3. Covered that with window screen from the hardware store.
4. Weighted it down with some bricks or patio blocks.
5. Come spring all the weeds and grass under the newspaper
would be dead.
6. Remove the bricks and the window screen, but leave the
newspaper.
7. Dig holes in what's left of the newspaper only where you need to plant.
8. Install your plants.
9. Lay down a fresh layer of newspaper around the plants. (9 pages)
10. Mulch the bed with at least 2" of mulch.
11. A weed free garden.
