My Chicago Garden

In 2006 I plan on pulling up at least 500 square feet of grass and nearly doubling the size of the garden to 1000 square feet. We may also pull up another 920 feet of grass for a non-food garden. All depends how much it costs to rent a grass stripper and how much we can afford in mulch. In 2005 we used approximately 90 bags of mulch for the entire yard. Plans also call for a compost bin this year or the next.
