Thinking about this makes my head hurt. I know it has to be done but I have to take my time. This attitude about nature and the environment has been so ingrained in me that I have to pick through my expectations and assumptions. Is this a valuable exercise for you?
I live in South Florida so we have two growing seasons. I just turned my 4×8 raised bed over and mixed in some compost. I covered the bed with a bunch of pine needles which do a fairly good job of keeping back the weeds. I then promptly left town to manage the business my father left my brother and me in Exuma, Bahamas for a week. When I get back I am going to start some seeds so by the time they are ready the soil should be in better condition than it was last year. Our soil is very sandy here so you really need to keep building it up year after year. Comments, suggestions, feedback welcome.
