I'd not bother with the plastic and instead cover the area with
cardboard
or old felt carpet underlay. Whatever comes free and second hand. A
carpet
layer will often have second hand hessian underlay they are happy
to
part
with for free.

Coffee grounds, food scraps, leaves, grass clippings. Chuck it all
on
top
of the hessian or cardboard and leave for a few months & you have a
garden.

I think this system works even better if you chuck all thos things
under
the
free top layer. I like to let the worms get at it and do a lot of
work
for
me. But then my soil is rotten and hard and wormless so I also dig
up
some
worms from my veg garden, dig a tiny bit of soil so thye at least
have
some
soil cover and then do what you describe.


hmmmm.......doh. This makes good sense, in that the worms don't have
to chew thru the cardboard/hessian/whatever before they begin to work.

Same weed reduction results, but faster soil improvement results.

Thanks for the idea, Wormwrangler.

Charlie

I would suggest that you first lay down your soil amendments (manure,
rock phosphate, potassiun [wood ash, what ever]), then your cardboard,
or newsprint, and then cover that unsightly mess with the mulch of your
choice (I prefer alfalfa), then if you want to go full gonzo, spread
some green manure seeds (I'd go with rye or buckwheat to condition the
soil [make it looser], or some legumes to add more nitrogen to the
soil).
In any event, the worms will thank you for it.


No disagreement witcha on this and what I have done also, but my take
and thinking, after Fran's post, is lay down a good layer of worm bait
and food, such as cooked rice and pasta, veggie trimmings


May I see the wine list?;o)

, rotten
fruit and trimmings, etc., *under* the cardboard, with amendements,


I think the operative word, Billy, in my suggestion was 'chuck'. I could
substitute it with the word 'bung' to try and reflect the approach I am
taking.

No just 'do nothing gardening', but 'close enough is good enough gardening'.

It's just Mr. Occam and his razor again. No sense making anything more

.. . . and in gardening news, I just discovered that many of my plants
are hermaphrodites. Only in California;O)

Since we're in the garden, he said, leaning against the fence. I like
sweet corn, not super sweet, I still like to be able to taste the corn
flavor, but I've noticed that even with trying to select the perfect
corn, not only I, but my CSA as well, seem to produce corn that is
starchy. On the other hand, I can go to the local market and get corn
that is sweet, that I presume was picked all at the same time. What's up
with that?

I think I'd be willing to grow some hybrid corn, just for the sake of
having good corn on the cob, while I'm learning on my "Golden Bantam".

What corn works for you?

Dinner From Rec.recipes again

Chorizo Cabbage Scramble

This started out as a typical recipe for unstuffed cabbage but has
been seriously adjusted in the direction of TexMex.

1 small head cabbage, shredded (about 4 cups)
1 lb bulk Mexican-style chorizo
1/2 cup uncooked instant brown rice
1 small onion, chopped
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes with chipotle
OR 1 can plain diced tomatoes + 1-2 Tbsp minced chipotle en adobo
1 Tbsp brown sugar
2 tsp salt

Crumble and cook chorizo in large skillet. Drain fat. Add onion and cook
until softened. Add diced tomatoes with liquid from can. Add minced
chipotles if using plain tomatoes. Add rice and brown sugar. Stir until
the rice is well mixed in and the brown sugar has disolved. Add shredded
cabbage and stir together with chorizo mixture. Cover and cook about 15
minutes until cabbage has softened and flavors have blended. Add salt to
taste if needed.

The scramble can be eaten as-is or used as a stuffing for tacos,
tamales, etc.

...............................
I use long grain rice

Yeah, well, I'm scratching me arse and trying to figure if I've been
directly, or indirectly, insulted or what.

(Bloody cheeky often obtuse bloke rob is, he is)

Charlie, who just this minute remembered the cider laid down and is
going for an opener and bottle this very minute...


why, does chuck take the odd bung?

Does George like his kungpow spicy? Why would George steal from the Yankees?
George is getting upset! Worlds are colliding. It's all just slipping away,

I think George just might have had a few too many cleansing ales when he was
writing his post as I too haven't got a clue what he's on about and I can
generally understand Kiwi posts :-)))).

George is getting upset! Worlds are colliding. It's all just slipping
away,
and you're letting it happen.

Hmmm.....first you have me scratchin' me butt, and now I'm scratchin'
me head!

Ah well, nothing better to do on a hot Sat. nite than try and
translate Robspeak into something poor old addled Charlie can
unnerstan'.

I think George just might have had a few too many cleansing ales

I don't think that is possible. Alcohol frees the body from the tyranny
of the mind. Can't ever be too free.

The medium IS the massage.

Gees, the reference is just staring you in the face. If relationship George
walks through that door, independent George will die. A George divided
against himself cannot stand.

Aw, lets just go back to talking about Chuck being felt in his garden.

Chuck is beginning to feel like a well trodden carpet....


Stop being such a fuss pot charlie. What you do with a bit of crumpet in
your grotty garden is your business, none of mine. Not being a wowser of
course.

Most of the February cider got bottled yesterday. Looks good, nice n clear
and a good smell. Not going to try any for a few more months yet though,
give it time to mature well.

I bottled in twelve ouncers after a month in secondary and cracked one
open last weekend and was pleased with the carbonation, aroma, clarity
*and* taste.

Charlie


That seems like only 3 odd months after fermentation? Thats alcoholic
territory charlie.
