>>2593495Growing corn in the boxes, gonna try to purposely grow corn smut for fancy Mexican food. Thankful it doesn't seem to mind the water quality. I'd planted a row of peas behind them that just sprouted, and the beets I seeded in front either failed to poke above the mulch or all got dried out.
Should I be using a smaller mulch around beets? Pine bark? Straw? Thick peppered mulch seems to be the only thing slightly deterring squirrels, but that means nothing if I can't get my beets to grow
