The first year or two may involve adjusting to the Back to Eden method, with some plants struggling initially. Be patient. The system takes time to establish. Supplement with additional compost to support plant growth during the transition. Persistent weeds can be a challenge, especially in the initial stages. Apply a thicker layer of mulch, and consider using cardboard or newspaper underneath to suppress weeds. Regularly check for and remove emerging weeds. Imbalances in soil nutrients may occur. Regularly add well-rotted compost or manure to replenish nutrients. Conduct soil tests to identify deficiencies and adjust accordingly.
