Cardboard Bonanza

     Vance scored big on cardboard at a dumpster behind Target and Sam's Club. Now we can tile the entire garden if we want to! So I started laying it outside the fence in between our hazelnut bushes to keep the weeds down. 



    José and I got two loads of wood chips in the morning, and I went back for a third load in the evening. He dug two holes for our future blueberry bushes, and we both put wood chips around all the borders. 


Ready for more blueberry bushes:



    I decided to use hay instead of wood chips around the hazelnut bushes. Unfortunately they hardly ever produce nuts. Apparently we need more bushes to cross pollinate. And now beetles are eating the leaves. I just hope these aren't the dreaded squash beetles. And if they are, I hope they stick to hazelnut leaves and leave our squash alone!

The balance of nature is tough.
