We've been debating on wether or not to use the "other side of the garden" for raised beds, fire pit, hammock swing, orchard or what ever? It came down to it that if all else fails and we don't truly need that much garden space we can always put in flowers. So we decided to build the beds a few weekends ago and get them placed. But before we could do that we had to level out the ground. I've driven the car on it, played on it, and the ground was generally rutted, pitfalled and hard as a brick!!
We fired up the rototiller and got to work. Making the ground lumpy and messy but at least workable. Jake came up with a wonderful idea to level out the ground. He got a pallet, placed rocks on it then drug it around the yard.
Here's a video to partake in the humor of it all.
Now the beds have been placed, spaced and ready to be filled. But first we are going to pickaxe the soil to get all the rocks out of it. ( I'll post some pictures of the on going rock pile drama. )
Looks great! Where are you getting the soil to fill the beds with?
ReplyDeleteMostly from our City Of Cheney compost. But since all are soil is rock with a top layer of sand, we have to import all our growing soil. We are looking into a location that has garden soil/compost by the dump truck full... but we'll see.
