10 steps to grow a boatload of #food #garden #eat #lbs #crops #yield #farm #backyard

To turn your backyard into a food jungle, instead of a weed jungle start your no dig garden right now for next year!

Step 1: cut or mow all tall weeds in the space you want your backyard grocery store. 

Step 2: lay 1-2 layers of cardboard with all tape removed over your entire grocery store (garden) footprint. 

Step 3: lay 6 inches of wood chips in the places you want to walk. 

Step 4: lay 6 inches high quality compost in the places you want your food to grow. 

Step 5: water deeply with a sprinkler for a few hours to saturate the compost and get the life to start turning it into soil.

Step 6: start all crops you want to eat indoors according to your last frost date in the spring weekly starting in March. 

Step 7: plant your grocery store by the 1st week in June or after your last frost date in the spring. 

Step 8: water deeply with sprinker 2 hours a week at least, maybe 4 when its hot. 

Step 9: pull any weeds once in a while. 

Step 10: harvest and eat your food when its ready.

If you feel like any of the above is overwhelming, please take a look at my garden course (7 hours of in depth lessons on all of the above) at the link in bio. I would LOVE to help you!
