Grab the shovel and a bag of compost. Dig the holes for the tomato plants larger than you would have and refill with compost when you plant the tomatoes in the holes. You can do this for much of the garden plot. Zucchini & green beans are also easy and good producers. <br />Potatoes are another super easy one. The up side is if you are direct seeding, you can tell where you planted them because the compost is darker than the rest of the soil. If you like onions, grab yourself some leek. When you thin them out the little ones can be used like scallions.<br />To keep weeds from popping up in the rest of the area, 6 layers of newspaper thick and cover with the compost. I'd skip the straw mulch as you don't want anything that fluffy to hinder seeing any snakes.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29521202.post-59016011340634153812010-04-12T14:03:29.045-04:002010-04-12T14:03:29.045-04:00That is a good looking chicken coop.
