When planting some strawberries (that didn't do jack poo but die...) and broccoli (which did well...) this past fall, I covered my garden completely in oat straw.Two reasons:
a. To kill the weeds that were already growing and to keep new weeds from showing up.
b. To let the oat straw decompose and fertilize my soil.
To prepare for this season, I took a few days to rake back the straw. The result is what you see in the picture above.
I had my brother, Dan, till the garden up while my Dad spread the compost and fertilizer:
Same fertilizer and compost as usual. Thank you Mrs. Erika from Erika's Nursery in Orange, Texas.
The Result, a beautiful patch of potential!
