Cameron has done research in raised bed gardens, square foot gardening and small farm gardening. Back in our old house, after being there for ten years, the soil in our garden was light and fluffy. Full of nutrients added by our compost pile.
Our soil in our new house is clay! We will have to get sand and some top soil for the raised beds (which we got in Amazon almost two years ago and just now got them out of the box). We started a compost pile when we first moved here but I don’t think it is quite ready yet. Maybe it will be in May when it is time to plant. Otherwise we have friends that have cow and horse manure.
Sunday was a gorgeous day and we turned the soil for the first raised bed. We decided to have the garden outside the fenced in area. The chickens will be free ranging in a few months and we don’t want them eating our garden or digging the plants out. They certainly love to do that. We’ll see how it goes.
