Lazy Gardener
Super Self-Sufficient
Yep. Use what you have. I like these b/c they are super simple to put on/take off.
Are you on blackland? Is it clay? Plant long root radishes, like Daikon, let them grow, die and rot in place. They will bust up the hard clay and the dead plant matter will feed worms. The hole the radish leaves will allow rain to penetrate the soil instead of running off.
