Friday, March 28, 2008It all began with 4 square yards of potentially-dodgy "compost," delivered to the driveway as a free gift from the City of Vancouver.
Along the pathway toward the back of the property, about six very promising plots of earth were just sitting there, eager to be enriched.
The site of what will become Gravely Gardens this summer is south-facing; the existing soil is shallow but extremely worm-infested, which I take to be a pretty good sign. With our new compost now sitting in the yard, our next step will be to amend the garden soil, whatever the hell that means.
Paula says we have to screen the soil now, and mix in some cow dung.
