I’m in year 4 of a 1 acre food forest and I just picked up an 80v electric string trimmer to help me maintain it. It’s been an exceptional tool when establishing pathways and freeing young plants from overgrowth. But I can’t believe I hadn’t thought it this prior…. the string is just slowly getting shorter, releasing plastic literally all over my garden. I’m no purist, but this one felt a little dumb. I use a scythe for a lot of things, but I’ve never experienced a tool as accurate and helpful as the trimmer. Any thoughts to help give me peace of mind, or tool suggestions to use alternatively? What about a metal string!?

I’m planting some scarlet runner beans and looking for good guild companions. Maybe just some protectors for the rest of the soil in their planter.
The beans are planted in a regular raised bed (2.5’x3.5′) and will cast some shade on the area that still has room for the other plants. Not very windy in this area but a bit on the arid and low precipitation side (but I can manage watering as needed… no closed system yet, but in my future plans). I’m in growing zone 4b.

A prehistoric digestive time capsule has been unearthed in Australia: plant fossils found inside a sauropod dinosaur offer the first definitive glimpse into what these giant creatures actually ate. The remarkably preserved gut contents reveal that sauropods were massive, indiscriminate plant-eaters who swallowed leaves, conifer shoots, and even flowering plants without chewing relying on their gut microbes to break it all down.

I was about to put another layer of old hay on my potatoes but noticed two different types of mushrooms popping out of it, I think ink caps and some yellow mushroom. Is there any concern using this hay? Either in terms of killing the potatoes or killing whoever eats the potatoes?
