Well old musty futons are free and don’t have to be delivered. I worry about using manure on gardens these days because of what goes in to the animals – especially steer, chicken and pig manure. As with food, best to know where the crap comes from too. Looks like you’re well on your way. But just in case, North Shore Recycling has an excellent booklet on Sheet Mulching. Couldn’t find it on line. But you can probably pick one up at their office. Oh and I prefer to use the Province “news” paper for composting or mulching, so satisfying to compost garbage.

So… how are you going to keep the deer out?

Looks fabulous already. I find a pile of rich manure more visually interesting than sod. And in a few months you get plenty of food! Why aren’t we all doing this?

One more thing… have you ever considered getting a chicken? Is it legal in our hood?

Hello! I was looking up your phone number (to sort out my list of babysitters) and found this! We also have plans to create an edible garden…. across the street. It will be nice to have a fellow urban farmer nearby. Megan
ps. loved your peaches, have yet to taste the pickles. We canned quite a bit this year as well. The tomato sauce and salsa have been the biggest winners – lovely to open in December.
