Fertilized onion sets with fish emulsion this evening. They continue to look good.
Cut some long, coarse grass around the edges of the yard with the weed whip and used it as mulch around the tomatoes. Also mowed some of the lawn with the unpowered mower and raked up some clippings from that.
I did not mulch closely, since the soil needs to warm up more. Mulching will help conserve moisture and make a good home for beneficial soil flora and fauna. The grass has not seeded yet, it’s just leaves at this point, so I should not be adding weeds to the garden. Add organic matter to your soil, add organic matter to your soil, add organic matter to your soil.
And speaking of organic matter, today I began collecting coffee grounds from various coffee-brewing stations around my workplace. Might as well bring them home and compost them, or feed them to the worms, or dig them directly into the soil, rather than send them to the county landfill. They are a seed meal, after all, and contain significant nitrogen.
