I seem to remember that the moon was in the seventh house last entry. Well at last I stopped thinking about it and wielded a spade in the back yard, the spade is certainly mightier than the thought process.
The ground is very hard and the spade only penetrated a few inches but it is a stare, the ground will loosen up when things start growing. I gave it some blood & bone and a good helping of lime. Being subsoil there will have to be a lot of humus added but that’s a lot of fun.
Looking around the yard there is room for several more beds but this will do for starters.
There was a scrub turkey wandering around this morning so I will need to use netting. On Gardening Australia a couple of weeks ago there was a viewer’s tip which advised using the herb Five Spice which repelled the turkeys. I will try that one for sure.
