    Eucalyptus bark is not good to use in a woodstove or fireplace. It creates excessive sticky residue in the chimney which is hard to remove and over time can start a chimney fire. If your only option is to burn Eucalyptus you need to have your stove pipe cleaned regularly . Best just not to burn it.

    Mold: “Pour enough undiluted white vinegar into the empty spray bottle to cover the area of mold growth. Spray the mold directly, fully saturating it with the vinegar, and allow the vinegar to sit for at least an hour. Don't be tempted to scrub or rinse; the mold needs time to completely absorb the vinegar.”

    Spring is a good time to cut back mimosa and dead growth. Damp proofing the front door upstairs corner from the old retaining wall. Preparing for utilities in the basement room. Use cut logs to border the potato bed.

    The grass you collected is great material for mulching or an addition to your compost pile. Good time for the first compost pile mix of the season.
    Great job surgically opening the corner of the house for waterproofing. I hope you are gratified to know that your labor to waterproof the rest of the building was 100% effective! 🤓👍
    Wonderful job mulch you new potato bed! Greens and browns, grass and woodchips, f grasses sneak through in spite of your efforts, buy a bale of clean dry straw (not hay) and add a thick layer on top. Potato's like to grow in straw.
    Be sure to go around the perimeter of your property and strim the mimosa sprouts while they are young. You will have to do this several times this year and next.

      This is also a surprise for me. Not sure potatoes will be strong enough to pierce cardboard. My understanding was to use cardboard on top of the soil (o prevent weeds from growing and to feed worms) and then mulch, grass or organic stuff. Potatoes are planted in holes in the mulch or even in the cardboard.

    • @Keith-jo3pf
      @Keith-jo3pf Місяць тому

      Yes, the potatoes won't grow through the cardboard. The purpose of using cardboard for no dig beds is to kill off the weeds and grass. Much better to dig up the potatoes, cover the cardboard with thick compost and /or manure and plant the potatoes into that. Check out Charles Dowding,s UA-cam pages on creating no dig beds.

    Your property is looking better now and planting potatoes is going to be fun.
    Looking forward to seeing more of your garden and flowers 🌺
