Please do not line the bottom of your raised beds with w**d blocking fabric. I am currently tearing it out of the raised beds that the previous owners to this home put in. The fabric blocks out beneficial worms from coming up through the soil. It does not keep tree roots come up through the soil. The yellow lines show the tree roots that have gotten through the fabric.

Three weeks ago, while harvesting our ripe pumpkins, we found 3 green pumpkins hidden in the dense leaves.
I trimmed all the nearby leaves away, so that these could get the most sunlight. We put boards and bricks underneath them to keep them off of the damp soil. Now they are almost ready to pick!

One hour a day for a week, three FULL trash cans and the corner of w**ds is cleaned up!
- Don’t want the w**ds to spread.
- The w**ds were sucking up all the water and nutrition from under the apple trees.
- Yes, Sadie the dog was bathed 2 days ago so she of course goes straight for the dirt.
- Also eliminated snail habitat and killed about 10 a day.

Lovely combo.
