Garden Report #6 (Almost)

We are almost there but not quite finished. Hubby picked up a load of Double Thunder from Geo Growers for the raised beds. Double Thunder is made from non-shrinking compost, composted rice hulls, granite sand, gypsum, and combined with extra organic compost and is ultra-rich! I also mixed in Miracle Gro potting soil along with some bagged compost. We originally purchased the soil from Geo Growers in bulk, i.e., loaded up the truck bed, but Geo Growers also sells dirt by-the-bag, but you have to bag it. We need approximately two bags to level the beds.

The dirt is all in and I placed a few plants in the beds -- will put them in the ground tomorrow after installing the irrigation system. Then, we will top off with shredded hardwood mulch to hold the moisture in.

I recycled, some used, black plastic weed protection under the brick walk-in. I miscalculated and shorted myself two bricks. I am hoping that we can bring the bricks out past the gates and around the entire structure but need to get the gates hung to judge the clearance.

Tadaaaa! It is almost finished. :D

The gates must be installed quickly! Maggie, Luc's lady friend and digger extraordinaire, was sniffing around and in the beds, probably plotting how many holes she should dig and which plants should be destroyed.

Until next time, God bless.
