ok, so i let the dogs know who is boss. that was six weeks ago and no more damage. they have even been here to sniff around, but no longer bother my garden. it you want to call it that.
the veggies looked pretty much the same as the day i planted them for those same six weeks. zero growth. that is until a couple weeks ago when i saw a sign offering
FREE MULCH. wow, how could i pass that offer? i didn't. i lined my truck with tarp, drove to the mulch pile, looking very dark rich and fertile and loaded up. i spread it about two inches deep on my front yard beds and on my lame looking garden plot. whew, tiring but it looked great and...the next day there was visible growth in my garden. shoot, i got this gardening thing down!
until i emailed pattie at www.foodshedplanet.com. i got an immediate response saying
"DO NOT USE DEKALB COUNTY'S FREE MULCH" in caps yet,"IT'S NOT ORGANIC". so what else is new? i think the name of this blog should have been whatnottodotogrowanorganicgarden.com.
i guess there could have been pesticides sprayed on it, or possibly wood from diseased trees or bug infested, but i ate my first salad from my very own, kind of organic, garden for luch just an hour ago and i feel great! kind of. i'm actually starting to feel a little light headed. maybe even a little shakey, but hey i'm tough. cough cough...i'm ummm... cough...it's a...got
ta go.
