    Love the Mulch. Do you just clear it off for replant then put it back? Bark/wood chips would rob some Nitrogen from top soil?? Straw would be great if you can get it! Classic trio of maize, pumpkin and beans work well for shade?

    I had some hosta plants that were getting ravaged by slugs and my grandmother told me to leave out saucers of beer overnight. I thought she was joking, but I did it and the next morning, the saucers were completely full of dead slugs. I did it again the next night and only got a few survivors but they did not come back for the entire summer

    Hallo Nederlandse tuinder :-) Over de mollen.... Ik woon ook in Portugal en vorig jaar heb ik mijn eerste poging gedaan om een groentetuin aan te leggen. Nu heb ik ook mollen op mijn land, maar er zijn ook woelmuizen, en deze laaste zijn vooral heel vervelend omdat deze aan de plantwortels knagen. Mollen doen dat niet, maar de gangen van mollen kunnen wel de planten laten uitdrogen omdat er alleen lucht is. Om ze te vangen (nee niet diervriendelijk) kun je van die metalen kokers met trechter vorm kopen en deze zet je in de gang. Deze val is dicht aan 1 kant en heeft een éénrichting klepje aan de andere kant. Ik heb ook geexperimenteerd met drip irrigatie (met kleine sproeiers op de buis, en gewoon dripbuis) maar ik vind het veel te veel gedoe met buizen overal, en ik heb ook heel sterk het idee dat de wortelkluit zich niet goed ontwikkeld omdat het water zo lokaal gegeven word. Nu heb ik overhead sproeiers, geen enkele buis meer in de tuin, vind het veel fijner. Staan jullie ook open voor bezoekers? Ik zou het best leuk vinden om eens bij jullie te komen kijken hoe het er allemaal uit ziet en dan kunnen we ook ideen uitwisselen. Hartelijke groet, Robert

    I find thick layers of compost and wood chips create an ideal environment for earthworms and in turn moles which feed on them. I once saw that something was moving under the mulch and earthworms were trying to scatter in different directions. I thought I was filming the whole thing not realizing I had forgotten to hit record! Thanks for sharing your experience with others. All the best to you. Happy growing.

    What about growing some Orchard Trees which would thrie in the intense heat ( lemons ? you decide what you like to eat) and their leaf canopy would provide some shade and when the leaves fall they will break down and contribute to the soil composition. Regarding the Moles or Voles - Thank God ofr their help and Read the Book : The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy. ( I recommend the paperback version with Horizontal Blue Jean blue wave lines on the books cover design. ) Drip irragation that they use in the Middle East is helpful and what about creating a Rain Harvesting system when the Rains do fall. Rainwater storage collection is something to investigate. I am so impressed with your beautiful garden. Turkey has fabulous agriculture to look into. Again consider growing Lemon trees and maybe sweet Olive trees ! I love Butternut squash and Watermelons ! Gerogia USA is a harsh climate and they somehow produce juicy peaches and Watermelon so much so they practically have to give them away for very low price so that they don't go to waste. Look at all the trees surrounding your garden! Thos gree trees are accessing underground water. Are you allowed to dig for well water ? Reason for reading this book above recommended is you Must never misuse your God -given Imagination to imagine your worries or fears coming true - Instead imagine how grateful your are your Moles and Voles are working to improve that hard soil. Realistically you need then to hang around for a decade. Because without them it would take you too long to recondition your soild. To prove my point is look up teh Life cycle of a mole ( or Vole ?) and you will see they have a very short lifespan ! So you need them to be perpetual for years. And Imagine that they keep their population at the present numbers. I grew up in Jerusalem back in the 1970's and we used Brown course Berlap sewn together to create a Shade cloth draped over Metal Cables stretched over our very large out door Cafe Courtyard. It Blew up and down in the wind but it provided Sun protection from both wind and noon day sun. we sewed them together and sewed them around the cable wires above. Have you explorde Electro culture using Copper wire wrapped in a coil and stuck in the ground to encourage growth year round. It is a facinating subject. I love No Till Gardeing ! You are do ing a terrific job ! Thank you for sharing your journey !

We cant use watering above the leafs becouse sun can burn the leafs becouse of the water drops work as a glass.
