    Tarps are my new friend. I completely covered all of the 4' wide stone edging between the house and south and turning east sidewalk in 2025 bc I was tired of the weedfest there, and it has really helped me. I used saved and damaged plastic tablecloths and a few old tarps, and you cannot see...

    Best Composting Tips

    As the saying goes, "just do it." Easiest way is to tie together 3 wood pallets, making the 4th one a gate. Simply fill it. When it's full, empty it out next to the pallets and refill. End of season you can dig trenches in your beds and bury your compost. A corner of your property is a good...

    Coffee

    I DID collect kindling for a fire on out hike. I Guess we could have brought the wood inside of the cabin to dry it out...but that might bring in something like termites. Perhaps we could have brought a black tarp and covered them day we got there.
