Garden plot improvement
I tilled it last week and gave it a quick once over today before we plant tomarrow. Wow has it improved, it so drastic. Its light and fluffy, dose not crust up like it did, smells like rich potting soil. Im very incurraged and plan to do cow manure, old round bales, and tree leaves this year.

Re: Garden plot improvement
I would love to have the space for a garden that large. Looks like whatever you'll be growing will be growing like wildfire. Good work!

Re: Garden plot improvement
This is actually scaled down from last year, I had this plot and one twice as large for potatos, corn, and melons but it proved to be overwhelming. I have a 50' row of grapes, 50' raspberries, 50' blackberries. 10 diffrent types of blueberries,and 2 different elderberries. Last month I planted 10 fruit trees I have 5 more on the way, as well as chestuts, hazlenuts, english walnuts, and pecans. This fall ill be building what is looking to be a 40x10 strawberry bed and puting up a small 8x10 greenhouse.Gunsmokin wrote:I would love to have the space for a garden that large.

The greenhouse will be for starts and propagation
Its a lot of freaking weeding!
