...but not today....a royal pain fastening the fabric down over the straw on my own...but i am nothing if not stubborn and unyielding, so i succeded....there's six inches or better of mulch over the planted portions of the garden...in the melee of fastening the fabric down i muclhed the baggie of gama grass seeds i'd brought to plant in the garden someplace or another...imagine i'll find them in the spring ( well i wasn't going to undo that cover)...fortunately i have entirely too many gama grass seeds for this project so i will simply bring some along when i go to class monday and plant them then...no harm, no foul...i turned in two hundred pounds of compost and cow manure in the gama grass and teosinte bed (i will have to re-map the garden and scan it in)...indiana university northwest has nice lawns, but the soil is godawful for growing anything else...i haven't seen an earthworm yet either...i will be importing some in the spring or this garden is going to die on its feet ( or in bed)...so now all i am waiting on is to see if the fed's teosinte seed plants this fall or next spring..if it's the spring i think work in the garden is about done for now...just sitting around researching and planning for spring...that's all.
