Barb has started seeds down in the basement. If the warmer weather continues, and I am able to uncover that God-awful heavy sink (It was buried with snow due to the Nor-Easter, I will hopefully get her water down there.
We sat down with the DripWorks Garden Planner and laid out the plants for her raised bed garden. I also did a preliminary routing of the underground PVC lines to the beds. I am going to make a permanent manifold, like I had back in the day in California. Of course, it will have a means of draining the lines in the fall.
Barb ordered a soil test kit and we are going to establish a starting point for the condition of our soil...pretty poor, from my assessment.
And so it begins!
That sounds like a really good plan. I don’t have any drip irrigation. I just use the hose that is hooked up to the swimming pool, or a watering can to dip water out of the water barrels.
