Thank you for your replies Wayne, Alder, Jonny, and Ann. I have tried all your suggestions and they ALL work! My seedlings are coming up, again, without being the rolly pollies' dinner.
Next question is, since I was trying the sheet mulching for the first time in my garden, and rolly pollies are helpful with composting, then how in the world do people sheet mulch and directly plant in it without all their seeds being eaten up? Are too many rolly pollies a sign of lack of another sheet mulch ingredient. I did a 3 parts
carbon, to 1 part nitrogen, and adding some
compost to help ignite the process, with about 5 inches of
straw for mulch on top. It's a pretty simple sheet mulch. Any other suggestions?
Thanks so much!
