Today i cleared brush along our property line. it's amazing how much scruffy stuff crops up in one year. i took out the evergreens and left a few well-placed paper birch and sugar maples. There was even a beech hiding in there! Ideally, there will be a row of deciduous trees to shade the house in summer and let in the sun during the winter.
Miss Critterpants painted her very own garden box.
My Guy went to Town today to pick up the last load of top soil and soil amendments. I hope that putting effort and a little bit of money into the dirt gives the garden a good start. happy fertile soil means happier plants with fewer problems, right? Here's to hoping!
so far we have put down 2.5 cubic yards of top soil plus green sand, bone meal, peat moss, lots and lots of manure and this crazy Maine compost made of lobster shells and aspen bark.
it looks like we will need about another yard of top soil and i would like to add some more peat to the mix.
