Expansion of the existing Veggie Garden

    all is planted so far.jpg
    ↑This was how it was in 2022 when I first got the walls up.↑
    Last year, I did practically nothing in the garden. I am feeling a bit better about stuff now, so I've been busting my butt.
    I first removed the center section (I had it intended as a walk space so I wouldn't harm the plants, it was too narrow for that, so it was wasted space) then I doubled the length

    Day two of actual work.jpg
    Ladies and Germs, I am here to tell you that new section busted my ba**s, so full of roots and rocks.

    I actually blew a GFCI outlet at one point.

    That was the end of day two days ago, I was finding some strange, cat shaped roots.

    End of day yesterday. I SINNED at one point, took my chain saw and got the chain into the dirt a little.
    Bad Jerry, very bad.

    That was an all day job

    Day three.jpg
    So this morning, I tilled through just trying to get it homogenous, then added a barrow load of REAL MULCH from my pile in the back

    A bag of "Black Kow" Manure and a bag of potting soil all tilled in together

    Black Cow manure already applied, now potting soil mix.jpg

    THEN, I readjusted the irrigation heads.

    It is still spraying outside the margins at the middle, but it definitely reachs both ends.
    I will put some potted things there to make use of the over spray
    I'm just making more and more work for myself ha ha.
