PREPARING THE SOIL

Our raised beds

We decided to use traditional organic methods to preparing the soil.  We used manure to start with but then used all the yard waste to create a compost pile.  We will probably feed the soil with the compost when it is ready because it will be most economical.  We also hope to rotate our crops to encourage better nutrients. 

Since we do not have very much room to plant, we decided to use raised beds



deciding the size of the beds

We added broken bricks not just to add a little decor but also to create a  path for the children and the visitors
