More Progress on the Garden!

Does this mean I'm an urban farmer now?!  :D

Here is where all the hay is going:

 

The hay will be mulch, and where you see wood chips there are actually trenches that are filled in.  The wood will help hold moisture and send nutrients into the planting beds.  The garden is only about half finished here.  More photos to come!

Our Dirt!

I have been taking a permaculture course.  It is something I have always wanted to learn more about, so this has been an exciting opportunity.  One of our homework assignments was to put some of our dirt in water and see how the layers settle out.  if you look really closely, you can see there are quite a few!  Our soil is pretty clayish, just like I suspected.
