Market gardeners put a ton of effort and money into it and the ones I follow, also get $5-6 per pound for stuff that's $2-3 per pound in the stores.
Compost used as a mulch and thick enough to suppress weeds. Strings to mark rows or this thing above to mark a grid.
The weeds are the problem because I have not got the soil in good enough condition to just pull them up. A few spots are easy, as I got the soil manageable, but when the s ground is dry, it’s very hard. I have to dig with a shovel to loosen the weeds then pull them up. Great exercise, but ugh....
Yeah, the string would be a good idea.
And I don’t have that much compost. However, we have no shortage of wood chips, and because of the rain, mushrooms.
No idea what kind though.
