Crappy Weather

This is what thirty 28lb bags of composts looks like when piled in front of a Lada Niva

So now I'm the proud owner of over 800lbs of composted manure, shrimp shells and peat moss. At a rate of about 3 1/3 bags per 4X4 bed, we should get about 6" of compost mixed into the top 12" of dirt. This blend seemed ideal for our current situation seeing as peat moss that had not yet been composted (the common big bales turned in in the fall) would leach nitrogen away from the plants for a few months as it broke down.

I was going to start tonight but as you can see, it was raining. Tomorrow should be interesting as it should be warm enough, and dry enough to start mixing this stuff in... and I just remembered that I was going to do the seeds on Sundays... Too late. I'm going to bed. Five am comes WAY too early so they'll be planted tomorrow.

G-nite folks!
