Reply To: STARTING FROM SCRATCH

[tdawgarden]

okay i hear what your saying, The only concern i see if i cut the grass very short then pile on compost over top it will only have been breaking down for a month before i start planting. Wouldn’t the young roots have a hard time traveling through the hard surface of grass?

Would there be any benefit to cover up the top layer of compost for that month with a tarp? iv heard it lets it cook?
