than disappointed and i am still looking for the right alternative. not
even sure, what i want anymore.

Odd. I have used this method for the last 5 years and I am very happy
with it. Last year, I was a month ahead of other gardeners in my area. I
can't imagine what could have gone wrong. Things do go wrong. Last year
was a cool year here, but the problems that I had weren't the mulches
fault.

You did mulch, didn't you?

yes yes. i did use mulch.
but i also believe that it might have been a combination between the way too rough winter and my inpatience. actually i wasn't too engaging to that.
let my husband do most of the work and i'm not quite sure, what he did wrong.
but at this time i take a little break anyway, so i go enough time to research for other possible alternatives.
