GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Here’s a few of the great tips you all had and we agree with!
• Sammy says, Cover bottom with newspaper to kill grass, then layer of gravel, layer of sticks, small logs, then good soil mixed with good compost.
• Matt adds not to go cheap on the soil. Couldn’t agree more!
• Good advice from both Pam and Michael to add a layer of wire mesh or hardwire cloth on the bottom to keep mice and voles out.
• Lisa says fence the beds if you have bunnies!
• From Ellen, use mulch to keep the beds from drying out.
• You’ll have to add more soil and compost each year. Thanks Dana for that advice.
• So smart from Jane, leave enough space between to mow!
