Sheet mulch update

As you can see from these photos, the sheet mulch beds are shrinking. As there was no rain for quite a while it seemed as though these would never shrink down. It's only been five weeks since this bed was finished and the mulch is only about three inches deep now. It was about fourteen inches to begin with.



This other bed was completed about three weeks ago and is about 5-6 inches deep.


You know something is supposed to work a certain way, but when you actually see it happening it just makes it more real!! I never thought it would begin to compost so quickly. I figure it would take much longer to get to these levels! And how great to not have snow yet to be able to watch it progress.
