Lazy Bed Extensions + Amending Bed Candidates - Winter 2025 - January 2026
Yesterday, I posted a 'garden dreaming' post about building a new, raised bed section in our backyard to grow even more vegetables and flowers. And, right before the new year, I posted by 2025 to-do list scorecard . I bring both of those posts up because they are both involved in this post about lazy beds. First, the scorecard . I graded myself 18/25, but one of the seven incompletes was #23 - "More Lazy Bed Extensions" and I mentioned in the post that I have reserved the right to update my scorecard total if I get these bed extensions done before the end of January. Time is important on these lazy bed extensions as we need time to suppress the turf that exists, 'melt away' the cardboard and allow the biosolids to mellow out a little bit. I've done them in the Fall and the beds were ready come Spring. And, I've done some on a quicker turnaround. If I get these done in January, I'll have 120ish days of cure time....
