This fall we are planting a crop of garlic as well as prepping
raised beds for strawberries in the spring. I am collecting newspaper to
help mulch the aisles of the garlic rows once they are planted. This will
help to supress weeds next season. I will also be preparing the
strawberries beds this fall by creating raised beds, spreading compost and then
layering with newspaper and mulch. Being that strawberries need to be
planted very early in the season I am attempting to prep the ground for them
this fall and then protect the soil with the news paper and hay mulch in
order to avoid compaction of the soil over the winter.
If you have newspapers to recycle you can drop them off at the Concord store, just make sure to take out the "shiny" advertisements for me. Look for the green newspaper recycling bin in the café area.
Best,
Stacey
