This is the third quadrant of the veggie garden. We begin here, It had been covered with some mulch until we could get around to it. What you are looking at is a portion that has been weeded, raked and a layer woelded-in . You can see the rolled-back mulch behind the prepared bed portion. We then rolled the mulch back over the prepared area, then moved on to the next portion. The poles mark how far we had gone. We rolled the mulch back, we began on the next portion. Once cleaned and levelled, the stall manure went on with some stall sawdust. That manure got woeled-in then re-covered with the mulch. Next please. The final segment: The green manure was pulled-up, stall manure worked-in and the phacelia was laid on top of that The plant stems and Clematis bits were piled on top of that and Bob’s yer uncle! There is one more quadrant and then the veggie plots are all tucked-in for the winter.
Ta Netty. I hope that you are right. It is a relationship— me and the crops, isn’t it. I work for them and they work for me…after they work for themselves, first of course. Attention to soil is the most important thing to us.
I agree and your soil always looks so fertile, moist, light & fluffy which shows just how important soil is in all your harvests for each season. If there was a contest for the nicest fruit and veggies ribbons would line your walls.
Thank you very much, Pac. I like keeping it fluffy and to help with that, I never tread on the beds without first lying a plank down to walk or stand on.
