2022-10-15: More chips

Image
Saturday, October 15, 2022 High: 77 Low: 51 Sunny Pulled weeds in areas around the orchard. I noticed that they start in areas where there were gaps in the cardboard layout. Once they start, they can spread, so it'll be important to keep them in check. Added chips on areas in the orchard that were sparse. I would like to increase the thickness pretty much everywhere. It's tiring. Added 8 loads of chips on the south side of the house (fig section). The grass grows super fast in that section in particular. I didn't add more cardboard or uproot the grass there today, I just laid on a thick layer above it. I want to make that area nice and fertile for the fig trees. Weed whacked an extension of the fig area. Thinking about covering it in cardboard and chips. I think it would be good to create an edging around that area to help stop the crabgrass from crossing over into it. I need to look closer at it tomorrow. Watched a lot of video content about back to Eden gardening
