scattering seeds to the wind
Near the rock pile is some very damp ground. What are the odds if I just
scatter seed on the damp ground that some of it will take root? Have you ever done this? |

Problem with scattering seeds (if you use lots of species) is, you don't know which are weeds and which are planted. Which is why it makes sense to grow things in rows: anything sprouts in a line is planted, all the rest are weeds. (Been there, done that, got the T.) Henriette Bed planting is something many of us are playing with. My introduction was through "How to Grow More Vegetables" by John Jeavons. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/...=search-alias% 3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=How+to+Grow+More+Vegetables&x=0&y=0 I broadcast seeds that are companions on to freshly raked ground, or broadcast compost, and manure over the seeds. We try to fill every bit of open space. My efforts so far, are mixed as rain took out some of my seedling and some of the plants (celery, beets, Swiss chard, onions, and parsley) are all going to seed right now, and are kinda all over the place. I'm hoping that they will just re-seed themselves. -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En2TzBE0lp4 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1050688.html |
