Your garden is incredibly lush and the earth is a rich, deep colour. Is it like that naturally, or did you apply a lot of amendments?
The barn sits on good ole Indiana yellow clay with shale just a few feet beneath. We can’t even hit water here...(Thankfully county ran water to our area a few years back).....We already we in the habit: “harvest” it in rain barrels, pond etc.
As far as the soil goes...I have a couple of sand beds for root gardens (Sand pit is about four mile from house and cheap...BUt also augment.
Have augmented clay with pieces of dry wall, sawdust from local mills (One trades with horse farms in the area...So it comes three years old complete with manure.)
Yearly layer all with peat, (use hoomama’s version of lasagne gardening) newspapers to keep weeds out, straw, manure, grass clippings, compost, paper shreds or anything else we might come across.
Another week I’ll try taking pictures of the orchard and “new” green house....Still trying to learn new tricks.
