A very thick layer of "Clean Compost" should keep most weeds under control. Good luck and let me know how you make out.<br /><br />Thanks Diana, we were planning to finish the beds today...but, it looks like rain :(Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-44232055549866562252011-04-11T19:39:47.271-04:002011-04-11T19:39:47.271-04:00You have been one busy lady, Robin.

I have a question with my bed, last year I haven't weeded the bed towards the season end and there were lot of weeds and now everything is dry and I cleaned all I could. But my question is should I remove the top soil and add compost and manure or can I add compost directly. The reason I want to remove the soil is I guessing the weed seeds are still in the soil and they germinate. Or do you think mulching can keep the weed seeds from germination?Saradahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851821835556255668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-89972345003426489532011-04-11T09:16:14.141-04:002011-04-11T09:16:14.141-04:00Jane, We can keep the plots as long as we want as ...Jane, We can keep the plots as long as we want as long as we pay our $20. a year plot rent before December 31 for the following year. There are gardeners that have been there since the garden started in the late 80's<br /><br />Thanks Laura, "The Italian" was saying yesterday that the beds aren't nearly as nice as the ones he built at home. I told him, it's not our house so it doesn't matter. They will be beautiful when everything starts growing!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-65244524866167198142011-04-11T09:12:13.668-04:002011-04-11T09:12:13.668-04:00Thanks Marcia...we're trying to get things don...Thanks Marcia...we're trying to get things done with this crazy weather!<br /><br />Ginny, I can and freeze depending upon the vegetable.

The reason I ask is I see you planted things that will take years for a reward and I was just wondering how many years you could claim that plot. It is a great idea.Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-10487037768976300632011-04-11T09:02:10.805-04:002011-04-11T09:02:10.805-04:00Oh my gosh that is a lot of work you all have done...Oh my gosh that is a lot of work you all have done, and it looks great!

The longest one is 34'. I am getting antsy and want all the hard-scaping done. Then I can mess around with all the finishing touches and mother the plants so they grow big and tall and give us lots of good veggies to eat :)<br /><br />Patricia, Thanks a bunch...it's getting there!<br /><br />Sue, My husband and grandson go through so much strawberry jam. I need a lot of plants. Hubby also likes to have fresh strawberries for breakfast.<br /><br />Rachel, I was going to post more pics, but I didn't want to bore everyone.
