I probably hit the local recycle bins for all the newspaper.
Hey Rob,(tnblazer) If you read this, I got something for you do if you get Bored.


every garden i have ever made has had weeds in it , cut the weeds with a weedeater and rake the weeds out then till the center of the rows and then
put the paper down and straw or grass clipings on the paper then at the end of the year till it all up again

heres a good site on gardens
