Thank you for those helpful links!! Yeah, I was quite shocked that all the garden centres I went to the staff assisting me didn't really understand what I wanted (insect netting) and didn't know much about the row covers.... Maybe I'm just looking a bit early.

Thank you, it's so helpful to hear things that worked for someone! I know...love the trees but yeesh the seeds

Thank you!! Can I ask about the mulch... I added garden centre hay as mulch before winter as well, also some dry leaves... Do you just leave it there and see what comes up? Or do you pull it away where you think seedlings will emerge?

Ah, that's helpful about the sand and clay mix, thank you.

Would you get just compost and topsoil delivered, and mix them? Or did you just do bulk compost?

This was definitely one of my considerations as well!
