So this weekend I had an opportunity to continue working on my addition.
Originally I was going to put down rocks between the boxes. But then I got to thinking. My kids will probably run through it and kick rocks all up in my grass. Then I’d probably be hitting them with the mower. So I went with cypress no float mulch instead.
Also, got a bunch of seedlings popping up.

Everything you've done looks exceptionally nice!

Thank you. I can’t wait to be done. Which will probably be never.

Pillage, before you fill those new beds up, have you ever looked into huglekulture ? I have 7 4' * 12' raised beds and I saved alot by going huglekulture instead of straight soil.

I'm thinking your Cinnamon Spice and Winter Banana apple tree, based on what you've said, are well on their way to becoming very nice trees that'll reward you with nice apples in the near future taking in account your location. I'd never heard of either variety. I like the choice you made of trying different varieties. As far as the image, I like and appreciate it and everything else you posted.

I’m familiar with it. That’s sort of what I planned on doing. I have been collecting a pile of branches from my neighbors tree for a while now. I’m going to lay cardboard down and that then throw the branches in. Then I’m going to add soil and mix in a good bit of compost that I’ve been cooking up over the past year. I have a nice pile of finished compost.

I'm going to try to do sweet potatoes that I ordered from LSU for the first time this year. Anyone have any tips/tricks/pics doing sweet potatoes in containers?

I did this then regretted it, plan to run them through a chipper this year vs tossing in branches.
In the random chance you need to turn the bed it’s a pita

Started tomatoes and peppers seeds today. First time doing things by seeds in the garage under grow lights. Should be fun. Now need to get the garden cleaned up and ready.
Can I glysophate the whole thing before tilling it up? Or will that leave a residual that will impact tomatoes and other transplants?

you’d have better healthier soil if you covered and layered with organics instead of weeding and tilling

I have debated getting a dump of mushroom compost and spreading it. Last year I lost the battle with weeds as the year went on. I am thinking maybe some plastic weed barrier to help in that.

save up some cardboard boxes or newspaper
get that layer super saturated and then cover with rotted compost and shredded bark. After a wet winter it will be good to go and weed free (for the most part)
and then every year just pile on another layer.
you’ll have black gold with a well developed mycorrhizal network

Where the heck do you get shredded bark? You mean like mulch?
Posted on 1/22/22 at 9:25 pm to Mr Sausage
yes like mulch
I get it in a dump trailer every couple of years and it just marinates in a shady part of my yard...scoop it when needed
anything will do...bark, leaves, etc

I got plenty of room to do that. Thanks!

Finally started my tomato and pepper seeds on the 17th. A bit late for me but whatever. I’ll start squash, zucchini, and cucumber in a few weeks.

I got plastic the barrier for my camp garden and will be using it again.

Weeds are your friend. Pull them and throw into your compost pile. They contain lots of micronutrients as well. Or gather them all throw them in a 5 gal bucket with water and let it marinate for a few days and you’ll have free fertilizer

Common bermuda took over over my raised beds because of my laziness throughout the summer and into fall. I've turned about half the bed over with a hoe and turned the dead grasses into the soil. I'm sure I'll have a battle when spring comes around but it ought to be manageable.
