gardens not only produce food and flowers, but they are a place to commune with our Creator

a time to plant

When we first started our garden spot is was really bad soil. But it was a good spot. I figured it was easier to improve the soil than to move the sun or the hill so that is what we have been working n for 4 years. It is now really good. But we still do things the way we used to. For the most part we use the Ford 4000 tractor to turn the soil a bit and put in rows. All we have is a box blade so this requires a little ingenuity but it works. Then we use all of that lovely compost  to put on top of each row. We do wide rows with a shallow trench down the middle.
