Depending on where you live and what plants you are growing, a faster drying mound might be an advantage. For me, I try to retain as much water as possible. That's why I eventually evolved to using hügelkultur wood in all my raised beds.
What did you do in the garden today?

Hello, do you add solution, or do you put enough in for the life of the plant?
Looks cool, what do you use the rainwater for? I'm guessing watering plantsMy mom had 4 of these big rain barrels around her house. I sold 2 in the estate auction and kept 2. I installed them this past weekend. Today it's rained lightly for about 2 hours and they are already full!

Cedar is very nice and that looks great. If I were a much younger man, I'd consider investing in cedar or all metal raised beds as well. As it is, I am OK with pallet wood beds that might only last 5 years. I am not thinking 20 or 30 years into the future any longer....My lime plant gives too many fruit, they fall on the ground. I have been using them to discourage cats from pooping in my yard. I cut them in half and put them where cats like to hang out or do their thing.
I was wondering if it was better to leave my mango cutting in the dark or in a lighted area, so I ask my A1 bot and it said,
"When propagating plants, the amount of light they need depends on the type of plant and the method of propagation. In general, stem and leaf cuttings require bright, indirect sunlight or artificial lights to grow roots and produce energy for new growth 1.
On the other hand, root cuttings can be left in the dark until they grow shoots and leaves 1.
It’s important to note that there is a balance between competing factors such as light, water, and temperature to ensure proper growth 1.
I hope this helps!"
My mango cutting in the dark hall was bent over leaning towards the light coming from another room, so I straightened it out and put a grow light over it. I think the A1 bot was right about the light.

I'm convinced that ALL lemon trees are slackers... In fact, I don't think REAL lemons exist. It's a GMO trick.

Yes, Mother Nature can't seem to get her moods stable around here... Either she's drowning us or locks the spigot. Getting a hose snaked around all the obstacles is a pain. I'd rather just fill the watering can and this setup gives me that option.
Hubby had raked/mowed the leaves into piles, so today I moved the piles off the yard. 3 piles went into the trailer, to be hauled up to the heavy soil garden. 2 HUGE piles went down to the sandy soil garden.
One toteful went into the chicken run.

I've had lemons, limes & grapefruits that never produced anything. I had that grapefruit tree 30 years & it never even produced a single flower.
My niece now has the stupid thing (and the lime tree).Similar threads
