    I love the sound of the birds! I also like that you use a carboard box. How long does it last? Thank you for the lovely video.

    I will give that a try. While I was watching, I was thinking, "Man, he's planting those seeds mighty close!". How did it turn out - good harvest?

    CAUTION>>>>if you live in a zone where u have termites DO NOT USE the carboard method or any cardboard around the garden...the humidity and the "smell" of cardboard will attract them like bees to the nectar...Sadly I tried in my garden (Texas) and ended up with a huge problem with termites and since i do not want to spray my soil with chemicals had to get ride of cardboard. I also by me not knowing...helped the population of mini centipedes to explode, and oh boy huge, and I mean huge, explosion of those critters which started to eat the roots of my vegetables... This year still battling them with soap and orange oil, they are hard to kill I am telling you just in case. I do not mind to have some of them around but when numbers are large then it is a problem to the plants...(after a rain, the walls of the house, fences, pots were covered entirely with the mini centepides...kind of horror movie LOLOL). so watch out with the use of cardboard...in some areas will work pretty good to hold moisture, but in others is a nightmare.
