ok the other day i saw along my flower garden that the dirt was raised in a line along the whole thing now today i found it going through my entire vege garden is it a mole? and how do i get rid of it because it is destroying my gardens?
It’s choking out the plants and I cant get it stopped not even with hoeing and pulling.
violetki… I messed up I will know better next year.
I’ve killed all it around my garden and inside the fence with roundup.
I laid 6mil black plastic inbetween the beds and put mulch over that.
I really think I’m going to salvage what I can and dig out the dirt and lay down the fabric and just start over. New dirt will cost $60 to $80 but I’ll save more than that on my grocery bill . Beans are cheap and grow fast like cucumbers and squash
Can you plant vegetables just into the ground or should you buy special dirt?
If the soil at your home is poisonous should you create a garden for vegetables with purchased dirt in a box with a base?
thanks in advance
sorry! goodness i assumed dirt and soil were one and the same.
things do grow on our SOIL but testing has shown it is poisonous and i dont want to eat infected vegetables from the SOIL/dirt
Just finished digging a 10′ diameter flower garden (Dianthus varities) in our front yard. Uncertain what the
next step should be. Yep, this is a first for me. The soil appears to be in really good shape and removed all weeds and roots. Should I cover the bed with plastic and cut holes then plant the flowers? If so, after the flowers are planted, should I put something (bark perhaps?) on top of the plastic? Will the plastic provide too much moisture and destroy the roots of this particular flower? Do I need to mix potting soil with the dirt in my bed? Again, this is my first flower bed and I need instruction. Do you know anything about this particualr kind of flower? Your responses will be deeply appreciated.
P.S. I dont want to spend a fortune on upkeep. I live in central Kentucky. Thank you.
I just put in some plants and blubs yesterday in my garden. Almost all of them are still under the dirt. Do I still put the mulch down now or do I wait until they pop up above the dirt? If I can put it down now, will the plants come through the mulch?
