I have no idea what they are but I’m just excited to see mushrooms growing in my garden over the past couple days. It pleases me to know my soil is happy and healthy.
This is my first garden and I’ve decided to use clover as ground cover. It’ll take a couple years to determine if it does what I hope it will accomplish. So far I’m quite happy with how things are turning out and am learning so much.
I’m currently and impatiently waiting to try the first cherry tomatoes but the first bunch should be ripe within the next week.
Mushrooms are just so neat. I’ve inoculated a log with oysters but haven’t seen any yet.
Do you really have that much mulch? The other day I was watering and I realized that the bark mulch was hydrophobic and not letting any moisture in at all. Internet said I had applied it too think maybe. So I pulled off most of it. Watered the dirt directly and immediately noticed a change in my plants. I thought bark mulch would be such a benefit but really maybe not. In the veggie beds I only use straw which seems to do a lot better but obviously doesn’t look so great for the flower beds. What kind of mulch do you use and are you having that issue at all?
