I live in Idaho, offered a position at a peds place I’ve always wanted to work at but it’s a contracted position. I’m aware this means no means no benefits, but honestly I haven’t had benefits since I started as a COTA 4 years ago in the two settings I’ve been in. Just sounds like a luxury at this point. I have no idea how taxes work, what would this average out to be hourly? anything else for me to be aware of?
I haven’t quite lived here a year, but my goal is to remove the lawn & plant native. I’ve done the sheet mulch technique for a veggie garden in the back, and this is my recent sheet mulch section for the front. This is cardboard, compost, and mulch. However, our soil isn’t too bad in the front- just dry and a bit compact due to the lawn. Planted a tree a month ago in the soil and it’s doing well.
Can I get away with a thick 6” mulch over the summer instead of sheet mulch just to get rid of lawn? The whole, ripping tape, glue, and stickers off all my boxes and buying compost is such a process. I was hoping to sow seeds in fall for spring. I don’t know what kind of grass we have, but in the garden beds it’s not hard to manage. Willing to put in the effort, just didn’t know if I was doing more than necessary
