Sooo … something’s been eating my baby snap peas seedlings 🌱 and I think it’s a 🐀. I’m determined to not use traps or poison — and I think I found a simple solution. Whaddya think?? Bamboo skewers poked into the soil at odd angles (like those roof spikes for pigeons) surrounding the shoots. Fingers crossed this works. Skewers are easy. 👍🏼👍🏼🚫🐀 Have you had this or similar issues? How’d you handle it?

Good morning! I got my front planted! I know i need mulch but i an doing the best i can... lol the oh I put the Dahlia in it's like clay underneath it I try to make extra big and added soil from my tomato bed. Hopfully it will grow!

Sending sunshine and cheer to all the nature lovers and caretakers in our Living Soil Community!

Q: What does meditation and living soil have in common? A: OM 😂💚 organic matter and organic matters! 💚😂 I’m adding OM by hand — and om’ing while doing it — to our Kurapia ground cover. We planted plugs late last summer and then over winter it was dormant and the soil settled. A healthy layer of OM/compost will feed the soil, the Kurapia that’s waking up, and help level up the soil in low spots. By the end of summer, I’m expecting to see a fully green and covered area with no bare spots. Three cheers for OM!!! Pics show the island of Kurapia that’s being filled in w dark, rich compost; the bag of LVWF compost; and a pic of a full-coverage Kurapia sample in a half barrel that we grew from a tiny little sprout over a few months’ time.

Hey, is this insect good or bad??? If bad, how do I get rid of it?
