Final crop of the 2015 season:

I've never grown it myself before but the word on the street is that rhubarb will just keep growing back for a long time - just cut the bits off you want/need. Does that sound right to you guys?
Oh, and the kale is going off at the moment - I have so much I've been donating baggies of the stuff to relatives and friends everywhere.

I never grew it either,,, I just ate it. :shrug:
Thoughts on Natural Fall Leaf mulch cover for the winter,,, I did some Youtubing and it gets rather good reviews, has anyone else used to successfully ???
I have already added a load of Manure in there, then I got some meh :( news from my neighbor that Manure would contain Roundup and that might stay in the soil for 1 year
She said add more mulch to help disperse those bad effects faster, so I wanted to get any thoughts of the natural leaf mulch instead of bringing in a load of Wood mulch...
The thought is that the leaves break down much faster then the wood and the worms like them better :shrug:
Thoughts ??? Experiences ???
I mix leaves and manure together. If you can get horse manure its better because horses cant eat all that GMO .
Find a person who has a few horses, Offer to pick it up. It is usually mixed with saw dust.
End result is a mixture that has everything you are looking for.
Leaves can be used all growing season to hold water and prevent weeds.
Been doing it like that for 20years
