Sheet Mulched area consisting of cardboard, compost, mulch, and then more compost
December 3rd Notes
Sheet mulched two huge beds, directed seeded some Collards, Lettuce, Bok Choi, Tatsoi, and then transplanted some beets into same area. We'll see how it comes out. The area sheet mulched last time (in November) did not germinate too well on account of it not being sufficiently wet enough is my guess (the bed was seeded right after a nice rain...and then no more rain). Swiss Chard is bouncing back from transplanting. Spinach looks great, as do the beets. Carrots are 50/50. Need to clear out old, dead squash vines and plant out areas

here's a link for more info on Sheet Mulching
