In The Beginning…..

Well, after a long time work has begun in the garden. as you can see there is infinite potential for creation (that’s a nice way of saying that there is lots of work to do):

I measured the pH and was surprised to see that it was 6.5 which is pretty much where it needs to be, according to Gary Zimmer “The Biological Gardner”.

Peeling back the black plastic which had been covering the beds for a couple of years revealed soil that looked like it came from a desert, all the structure and minerals but no organic material. Lots of centipedes but only three worms in two metres, they must have got lost.

Two day’s work showed up some muscles which haven’t been used for some time but I sure feel good.
