Turning dirt (barefoot) in NC
Category: My Front Yard Garden | Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2008 10:17 pm Hello All: Just wanted to post a quick update. It was beautiful here in the North Carolina Piedmont today. In anticipation of my seed order arriving I took the garden fork and loosened about a 1/3 of my garden this morning. It was so warm I was working barefoot, wearing shorts and a tshirt. I love to garden barefoot it just feels so nice to be barefoot in good garden soil. I saw a lot of nice fat worms today. Most had at least one visible One fork full of dirt had three in it. I also gathered a soil sample and took it into Raleigh today and dropped it off at the NC Ag dept lab. It is amazing to see the volume of orders waiting to be processed. There were mail carts filled with boxes just arrived with the mail, There were even pallets of little boxes. It only took a couple of weeks last year but they were not backed up on the loading dock. I think I am going to see if a neighbor will let me get him to take me to get a load of compost. There is a landfill that composts the local yard waste. Its really nice looking and pretty inexpensive. I would like to finishing loosing up the soil this week then get a deep layer of compost on top. It will really help to drought proof my garden and minimize my drip irrigation usage this summer. Seeya, Uncle Jabba This blog entry has been viewed 147 times

I'm envious, and good luck with your projects. By the end of summer, I can't even get my feet clean anymore! I'd love to travel to NC sometime soon, and have been reading about the western part of the state. The mountains, streams, and waterfalls sound wonderful.

Gosh Uncle Jabba
Ah, barefoot in the dirt, I'm so looking forward to my turn! In the meantime I'm happy that you share your gardening day with me. Enjoy your worms and dirt for me too, please.
Enjoy your "barefoot garden", hehe. Only a gardener know the great feeling of seeing worms in the dirt. Login or register to leave a comment. |
