I would prefer to do without grass, but I can't cover a whole lot with ground cover. So I'd better look after what's there or it won't look good.
This is at the south-west corner of the lot. I call it SOUTH LOT - SECTION 1.
I have been weeding there - pulling out uglies and harvesting what I like. I'm especially hung up on those wee blue flowered things that are rampant in scruffy grass right now.
They look like tiny forget-me-nots. I have already put some in pots to see how far I can get with them.
Anyway, I've pulled my
weeds/harvested wild
plants here and I'm going to get on with it.
My plan is to cut this shady section - that won't take much 'cause I snipped as I weeded and dragged my hand rake through it.
Then I plan to rake it out, then spread some manure onto it. Then some ordinary dark garden soil which I understand is best for acidic soils.
I'll do that in small parts at a time, using a hand seeder I just bought.
I didn't by the stand up pull and push kind yet, 'cause I know I'm inclined to just work on small patches at a time and I like to sit down to do it.
Is it ok to mix the top soil with the manure and apply it at once?
I'd like to do that, water it in, then start the seeding process.
Is it ok to do the seeding right away?
