I was wondering why I had 20 different flower beds around this little yard.

Hey, you gardeners!!!!

What are the secrets to creating and working raised garden beds??

If it ever quits snowing, want to surprise my WI born wife with one or two.

Dumb, city slicker questions...do I have to remove the grass before I put the liner down? Won't the liner and new dirt kill the grass?

What is the best width? 3ft or 4ft?

How do I keep deer and rabbits out? (A motion sensing robot with a shotgun would be cool; but overkill.)

Thanks!

I just went out and dug into the ground. Whatever bugs I had seen before are gone. Had some earthworms but the robins took care of them quickly. The ground was pretty moist. Should I let the soil dry out some?

Now you dug, PLANT! Just get it done and learn. Follow the directions on the seed packets.

Raised beds is your answer.

The clumps are huge and wet. No planting today. I will continue to work with it so the seeds or seedlings will have a chance to grow upright.

How much compost do you need? I'm currently sitting on about 5000 cubic yards. We sell it by the semi load?

You know the business I want to be in??

Selling cow poop to Home Depot in 25 lb bags. For all the city slickers.

Wife bought some several years and I was stunned.

She paid $$$ for cow poop!!

What a great business model! Go to farms, ask for free poop, throw in bags, and deliver.

Printing money.

I had a 52 ft trailer delivered when we first started. 800 bucks
