It is time to plan some lasanga guerilla gardens.

I have 3 things in my favour.

There is a railway a few hundred metres down the road with
spare land alongside it.
It is autumn so leaves are falling.
It is autumn so a bed of organic matter laid down now will
rot nicely for a mi to late spring planting.

To date I have lifted some large flat cardboard sheets and
placed on them on the spare land and covered with 3 bags
of horse poop. Shortly some leave will be added.

Come spring there should be a nice fertile patch to plant
sweet corn and pumpkin.

Rob, I did almost the same thing last fall. All plants had
gone into hibernating and thus I was able to put about 6" of
falled, died maple leaves on top of my whole corner garden.
I then top it all off with 3 garbage cans of horse poo.

My plants seem to have like the arrangement as they are
growing faster this year and look a lot healthier. When my
plants fulling mature, I will add some loam and then mixed
everything in together.
