Current and future frugal gardening: cleaning up woods debris to make a hugelkulture bed. Ordered fruit trees, Siberian Pea shrub. Getting grape vines from a friend. (Informal trade of chicks for plants) Called local tree care company and invited them to dump all of their chipped trees in my yard. (I have about 1/4 - 1/2 acre that I'm going to deep mulch) Gardening, building, landscaping as a way to stay fit instead of using gas to drive to a gym. (functional exercise) I hate to plant carrots, b/c they are a pain to space correctly, and even more of a pain to thin. So today, I made about 25' of carrot seed tape. save paper feed bags to use as trash bags. Use the tarp type of bags to haul big rocks into the wheel barrow so it doesn't get all scratched up. Plan to use some of them for grow bags.
