Gardening with Dead Moss

[CHJ]

Way back in April I mentioned our attack on our grass patches moss invasion,

We have managed to achieve a little investment return on the effort.

Having a few spuds left over from planting the main plots I decided to see what would result from just placing them on top of the soil and covering with a Moss/Grass blanket.







Not bad considering there was minimum planting and harvesting effort.

Well that’s good, I suppose it would keep any moisture in and it would be warm, even hot under there. In fact it could have been so hot it saved you cooking them as well lol.

Makes it very easy to harvest, baked potatoes with butter, salt and pepper mm good.

Added a sprinkle of grated cheese to mine yesterday.

By the looks of the uncovered compacted ground they were placed on, a little surface cultivation to loosen things up first to aid initial root formation and make sure moisture made its way down to soil level during dryer periods could improve the yield.
Certainly surface planting on surface tilled soil and a grass mowing's mulch covering worth a try in future.
