Today at the garden

Today at the garden, 14 of us enjoyed produce from the garden with our soup. This produce was harvested and eaten in less than an hour! After our meeting Christopher, lead a garden skill share about soil.Then, we turned over a shallow bed that wasn't working well for produce production and turned it over. After pulling the crops, we turned the soil over with a fork (see above). Then after raking the soil, we scattered flower seeds (see below). Finally we gently raked the seeds into the soil. Soon this bed will be full of beautiful flowers and need less attention than some of our produce beds. Will take some pictures as the flowers start to grow to let you see how it goes.

Today, we also learned about a new system for our composting that will rotate layers of green and brown clipplings, so that we can get more nutrients into our compost. Soon we'll be getting some worms and some worm droppings to help amend our soil. Stay tuned for more about the who, what, when, and why about worms.
