2 weekends ago I carved out what will be the raised beds by using rhe skid steer to rip out the grasses and a shit ton in rock.

Six, 75’ x 6’ (will be 4 foot wide when built but the skid steer blade was 6 foot wide)

The soil is a mess of rock and clay. I don’t have 12 years to mess around with amending the soil until it is the way I like it.

So, I got a boradfork and worked on the worst row all last weekend.

This Friday I am bringing in a massive amount of garden soil and from a reputable biz.

The lady who maintains all the flowers in downtown recommended this company because they get their garden soil from someone who gets their compost hot enough to burn off all the weed seeds.

I got a bunch of soil amending friendly cover crop seeds which will get planted in about 6 weeks.
