I have some questions on no till gardening.
I have some bark chips that I can use for browns and I usually use kitchen waste for the greens. I can't use my grass clippings because I have weeds in them. I can use some leaves from my other plants when I prune them.
Does it matter if I am using leaves from ornamental plants?
If I don't have enough greens, can I use fertilizer instead?
I got some fish meal but I ended up tilling it in because the mongoose will dig it up.
I am doing this on an existing bed so how thick should the layers be and can I use compost as mulch?
When you plant, do you plant in the compost layer on top or through the mulch layer into the dirt.
I have very wet clay. I added cinders before and it helped. Can I add cinders as a layer?
Do I have to top it off with more dirt?
I found a lot of videos on starting the garden, but not much on what to do once it is established.
I found that the mulch I used initially sank as it decomposed over time. Would I have to removate the bed like it was being started over again
