The watering system is low priority since watering by hand won't be an issue until late May. But with any luck we won't need it until June provided we actually get spring rains... who knows anymore?
Anyway here are some destruction pictures:

Progress of garden redux
Over the last few weeks we've been tearing down the wood, removing the watering system and raking up the mulch in the walkways. Now that the ground is starting to thaw we'll be able (provided we don't get a ton of rain) to rototill the ground and re-shape the raised beds. This is tricky, if we use the rototiller to soon the wet mud will make the ground very compact later in the season. But we can't wait too long because I'll need to plant things quickly. I just might have a late start this season, but the soil health must come first since that's the foundation of everything.

Holy Firewood! Stocking up for next winter already?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing with your garden? Are you going for a row system with the raised beds? Or just getting rid of them completely.
That's actually what's left of our 3 chords, it's only about 1.5. We use half wood and half gas for our heat. Once we build our wood shed this giant pile will move out of the garden.
DeleteAs for are garden, we're going raised row gardens without the wood. That will double the garden size by eliminating tons of pathways. Should be awesome!
