I grind my grains with a Mock mill made for my kitchen aid mixer, it’s fantastic, adjustable grinds, which flows right into the mixer bowl

Thanks for all your inspirations, I think that the challenge that I face here is that I'm in zone 10a and Bermuda doesn't really go dormant,, so even if we get a little cold period, the roots are still moving underground, then when it's warm again up it comes, so it's a consistent challenge. So that said I would hate to invest the time an resources into Hugle beds only to have then infiltrated with Bermuda, so I might re-double my efforts with the cardboard and mulch, then do some spraying with 20% vinegar and see if I can know it down.

thanks again, Jeffrey

Also I really try not to overtly kill anything living, as they all have a right to their life, and they certainly have a place here.

I think that communication is alway a good thing, and there is alway a way to do that, so they don't understand the word, they get the intention, so we reach an understanding, since they are 6 inches about my head when I go back and forth, they are pretty smart buggers....

I have a nest just starting above the back door, so like I do every year, I have a frank talk with them, they all turn and look at me, then I tell them that if they stay cool, I will too, and then all is well, never had a problem no matter how close they are to the daily traffic. Bless them all....

I would lioke to start constructing Hugle beds, however I have a lots of Bermuda grass that has infiltrated all of my beds, no matter what type of mulching I have done, from cardboard, newspaper, heavy wood chips, it has all been taken over, so I would like to know if and how anyone has addressed this issue, I'm in So Cal, Orange County.

thanks in advance
