Re: New garden

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

Thanks guys. You have really convinced me to skip the rototilling (and the
rental and the schlepping of it and all) and plop the beds down. At this
point, unless you talk me out of it, I am proposing to my husband to cut
the apple tree stump as close as possible to the ground, drill some holes
in it, and put the compost/topsoil mixture right over it. Saves a bunch of
money that I would have spent hiring somebody to dig it out.

I'll put newspaper or moving boxes on the bottom and I'm convinced that it
will take care of my grass/weeds. The ivy is still a little of a puzzle
though. My husband has ripped out about half of the area so we have some
bare dirt now. But it took him all morning to do a 10 foot square area.
Those ivy vines are really tough. So now he is thinking that if he kills it
all with Roundup first, that he'll have an easier time ripping it out. I'm
not convinced that it would be easier ripping it out if it were dead than
if it were alive. Further, I haven't done my research on Roundup and don't
know if it will make my two-year-old grow a third arm out of his forehead.
But, I want the ivy gone, and not just from underneath my new raised beds.
So dead is good.
