The mulch is almost totally spread now, and you can start to really see the outlines of the beds. On Sunday we'll assemble the wooden boxes and then we'll prepare to actually stack the bricks (the ones in the photo are just set there to show the outline). You'll also notice coffee grounds spread throughout the beds. In addition to boosting fertility this will also help to acidify our soil and neutralize our pH in accordance with the recommendations of our soil test.
Finally, we're tracking down leads on soil and working on a plan for water (if anyone has a lead for free rain barrels, we'll probably need 4-5 to use as holding tanks that can be refilled with a hose once a week).
Stay tuned for more updates.
Put me to work when we come out! I'd love to lend a hand.
