Preparing My Autumn Garden Bed

[@peterbanfield2078]

This is very informative - watched from start to finish - did not know about watering the layers.

Sounds like that top layer has become anaerobic and has been fermenting, maybe an air pump would help if it's sitting around for a while. Maresi

Please do a session on the grubs that I am finding in my soil. They are white with a brown head. The head seems to have the legs. They look like mini witchity grubs. Should we try dig them out? Which vegetables will they destroy? Will they destroy vegetables? Thank you

I hope you have queensland on your list for your *bags of life* 😊

I've used pea straw before and liked it. Didn't even know you have bean straw bales. I might have to grab a couple. Cheers!

Think i will wait for the autumn break before worrying about this. How much of the mulch on top gets turned into CO2 from breakdown and how much ends up in the soil?

Good afternoon. Pls help, my bay of straws has green weeds /grass 14:01 growing up. If I use them in veggie garden, it will be weeds,every where. What should I do? Thank you 😢Eva

[@brucejensen3081]

In summer time just chop the weeds down at ground level, it will add to the ground cover and you don't want to disturb the soil in the hotter months, if at all.

This is one of the great reasons for 'activiating' the bales, soak them in water and the growth will start, then drown off and add to the nutrition of the bale, (My lay persons opinion, as this is what I did to mine)
