I’m mostly about compost and mulching and choosing the right soil. I totally agree with not disturbing the soil too much although I did that by instinct, something learned from my grandparents. Thanks for the wonderful guide and resources plus those gorgeous pictures to delight myself with since it’s winter now and I’m mostly relying on growing indoors.

They are made of different materials. Some are incredibly ornamental. There are 9 by 12 straw mats, some very heavy.

Uh-oh, don’t skip those exercises — I don’t want to be responsible for any mishaps : )
