Prepping the Garden

We’re excited about having a big garden next year. We’ve been working to get it in shape. Today we took the bedding from the pheasants pen and spread it over the top of the garden. There’s a twofold benefit to doing this. One, the soil benefits from the bird droppings, a natural fertalizer. Two, the straw protects the exposed the tilled soil during the winter.

In the spring we’ll till it all over again and be ready to plant!
