Margaret's complaint

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Answers to some Q's:
Or:
This should make more sense now%>}

<snip>

BTW, I asked, only semi-in jest, what about SqFt mushrooms.
Ther's a few types that WANT semi-buried hardwood.
Shitake anyone???

<answer>

Maybe it's related, I got a huge growth of fungus in one bed. What do
you all
think this might have been?

<snip>

Bill, what a great idea! I used the stockade style years ago, using
driftwood around a herb bed, but your idea of then inoculating the logs
with mushroom spore absolutely sparkles! Margaret L

<answer>

Where to get mushroom spore , por favor? Will they grow in direct sun?

<snip>

Just packing them in tightly and filling holes with soil or sod did it
for
me. Incidentally, I don't think this is OT either. Margaret L

<answer>

I used the clay that is aplenty around here. Make sure it's wettish, use
one
of the logs as a pounder to work it down good. Still a bit loose at
first, but
by end of summer everything settled and the stockade is nice and tight
now.

<snip>

Anybody have an idea for how long something like this might
last in the ground?  Or should I debark the inside and paint
the inside also..
.
<answer>

I wondered my self, but weighed the idea with aesthetic appeal and cost
and
decided it was worth the chance, even for a few years. I used all oak,
too.
This stuff should last as long as most anything I could've bought.
Wouldn't
bother painting the inside. I've got more trees that haven't been
cleaned up
yet. (de-deadwooded)

Your approach with staggered ends is visually appealing but
I prefer to have some place to sit (however briefly) while I
plant, weed and harvest.

<answer>

Chain saw, when finished!;-)
