I have spent the last few weeks digging out couch grass. Not every day! But there is a LOT of it. I guess it's because I took a year off gardening and tried no-dig as well. No-dig only works if you have perfect compost soil and not invasive weeds like couch which grows deep down and keeps coming back. So anyway, the soil is looking good and I put tons of the stuff, (the couch grass), on the roof. It makes a fine thatch.
We had a day of heavy rain when we got the tail end of storm Barbara, which really perked up the ground, but since then there's been hardly a drop.
Jotul installed and ready to go but it's not cold enough yet. I love it's simple elegance and efficiency.
Now it's November. Let's hope for health and sanity.
