Sprinkle around my garden beds and into composting.

I saw a the medical surgeon of USA show a folded T-shirt, and two rubber bands.

I had a few summer squash that were about 2-3 inches tall and had just started forming true leaves.

The yellow squash completely withered and died. The zucchini (variety - Grey Zucchini) survived with no obvious damage. They're planted in 2 different spots, so it's possible the zucchini were protected some way that I haven't realized. From my view, the squash should have been more protected because they had flowering radishes a few inches away that blocked the wind. The zucchini are all by themselves at the moment.

I'm looking for others experiences and observations. Is zucchini slightly more frost tolerant than squash? Or was it some other factor?

Both are squashes, and warm weather crops.  Maybe wind contributed too?

I am a lot simpler, 3 long beds, 9 areas, all double dug.  Nice and artsy! :)

Good guide lines to keep.   I would likely process flowers and roots separately?

Investigate baking power, or baking soda?

Just concerned about any potential termites.. perhaps the untreated pine/fir raised bed wouldn't last as long if I did this?   Just trying to save on some soil expense as they are 17" raised beds.

Sure, get a tarp for any any grass or whatever in area designated.  Did down at least about 12 inches (soil on tarp),  throw in all the natural wood in new hole.  Then take everything on tarp and cover your new hugelkultur mini

You can walk around home and monitor for any termite tubes going up to your home.
