I have a pile of leaf mulch in my driveway right now, so I feel your pain, literally! It looks great.

Hey Melanie, Yeah they are tall enough to keep the bunnies out and we have a zillion too. The squirrels are another thing altogether. They like to dig up my seedlings, but I just put them back in the ground – they don’t eat them or anything. They are 12″ high, FYI.

Are they tall enough to keep the bunnies out? We have a zillion bunnies in our hood and I’m worried that they will munch everything.

Hey, Meghan! Yeah, I just add another bag of compost or two every year and a little peat moss for drainage. I have not ever had my soil tested, I suppose if I was fancy I would, but everything seems happy growing there so I haven’t seen the need too. What do you add to your garden in the spring? I am so pumped too!!!!

I was glad to read what you had to say about your soil mix. Do you just add some more compost to your older bed, or do you do the mix to top it up every year? Have you ever had your soil tested? I haven’t, but I feel like I should see what its missing. Anyhoo, I’m puuuuummmppppeedd up about the gardening season finally getting here!
