Easy Gardening?
I was at a Trafalgar Night Dinner last night and an intriguing statement was
made which brought up a question. One of the members had recently moved house and his new garden was 'a hell of a mess' and he intended to take the easy way out. He was going to cut down to ground level everything that was there, (there was nothing worth saving the previous people were not gardeners) and smother the lot in three or four inches of compost purchased from the council in big one tonne bags as soon as possible. 'And in the spring I will just Hoe the lot on a regular basis until I have time to sort it out properly. The compost will smother the weeds and any new ones I can clobber' As an avid compost maker myself, I can see that this would work and could be used by people who are taking over neglected allotments. Any comments? Would it work? I can't see why it wouldn't. That would be the easy way, the hard work comes later with the normal gardening. Mike -- ....................................
