He said nothing turned the garden better nor got rid of the weeds so good. I have honestly been thinking about making a new garden spot and doing the same thing only on rotation a year at a time. I do know that if kept in a small enough area the sheep will take everythingPioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-44121512162373026182014-06-06T22:39:53.101-04:002014-06-06T22:39:53.101-04:00Harry - I think it might prove helpful to already ...Harry - I think it might prove helpful to already be used to the work before it is a true necessity to garden.

I don't care anymore about the mud it was a bit hard to just say enough but it was either that or start loosing plants. As it is I lost three of four peppers to the weeds and the Corn is still up in the air. I think I am over half done with the Tomatoes though so they should all survive.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-53028480906707228412014-06-06T22:33:43.755-04:002014-06-06T22:33:43.755-04:00Sf - Ya know I was wondering about the sheet metal...Sf - Ya know I was wondering about the sheet metal and the wind but I got it pretty weighted down now with manure mulch so hopefully the wind won't find a foot hold.

Why pay when you can take a mud bath out in the garden while trying to weed???<br /><br />It's just a muddy here this morning. The rains came down hard this morning expecting more with high winds up to 72 miles per hour. I'm hoping the garden survives the rain and the wind. <br /><br />Sandy Livesayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183449816586125720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-31935122537886414502014-06-06T08:49:05.514-04:002014-06-06T08:49:05.514-04:00I had a vision of some or your horrible wind storm...I had a vision of some or your horrible wind storms hitting all that sheet metal in your garden,ouch!<br />I have run a push mower between rows before to get a handle on things after a wet period.<br />You have baby squash already!<br />I plan on hauling old hay today.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-31494835051316553472014-06-06T08:38:45.420-04:002014-06-06T08:38:45.420-04:00The sheep are not going to like it shorter.
