A Dirty Movie

Well, Daisy Janie has done it again. She told me about Dirt! The Movie that is available to watch on Hulu.com
1) Jamie Lee Curtis, my fav, narrates this movie.
2) It isn't one of the dry, preachy movies but gets its point across
3) Speaks to Nobel Prize Winners, Harvard professors, and brought up points that I never thought about.

Digby
There are several popular gardening trends that I do not like and after watching this movie, I felt better about the decisions I have made.
It also echoed the Back to Eden video that I recently watched and wrote about.

Interesting Video

This is the trailer to a video that someone on Soule Mama shared in the comments section.
The video is called Back To Eden and can be found on Vimeo.  I not have permission yet to embed the video here.  But here is a link to it

I can't say that I am not totally positive of everything but.... I will admit this year since I have been using grass as mulch, the garden seems to be alot "happier"

Living on the edge

Bottom and side of my garden
I am trying something new with my garden. Every year I hate having to dig out the outline of the plot.  I was reading another blog and they talked about using cardboard to cut weeds.  What I have done is to dig out the garden dirt and then place down a layer of cardboard.  I then refill the area with the dirt, after I have taken out the weeds and rocks.  Finally, I place the ceramic tile pieces on top.  I am hoping that this will keep the weeds at bay.
Anyone have any information about this?
