I've gotten my garden up and almost running in the past couple weeks. When the plants started to pop, I suddenly realized that I really did want one. So I pulled out the plans I made last December and started working. I made a raised bed, no dig garden based on a plan I found in an ebook at Sustainable-Gardening-Tips.com. Plants aren't in yet but I have some ready to go.
I've been pounding nails, shoveling compost, spreading soil additives, shaking out straw with all my available energy over the past week!
I've built three 4 by 13 foot beds. Here is one with newsprint spread on the bottom. It blocks weeds.
Here is another with the first load of compost spread in it.
I've really built muscles loading, pulling, and spreading compost. At least it was all free from the township. I need to take another couple photos now that the beds are finished and covered with straw, then again once some plants are in. I'll post more later.
