Ray Meylor, Isaac Walton League, came and tilled the garden today. ( I will tell you more in a later posting about his work with urban prairies) It was truly amazing as we watched him turn under and till a 75x75 foot plot. We then stacked sod along the west side ( Mike commented that it felt a little like medieval wall building)
These 3 foot high piles will become the bases for the raised beds of flowers and herbs. Isaac Walton volunteers will add an area of native prairie flowers at one end that will be labeled and mulched. I hope to have a garden diagram up soon so we can start to get a feeling of the space.
We also did a little raking and started a compost pile in the middle of the east side. Thanks to our first garden volunteers, Mike, Bruce and Eric and from Troop 98, John, Aaron and their dad Craig, who all manned shovels, rakes and wheelbarrows. Tomorrow night we will be fencing and raking. Come join the fun beginning at 6.
"Till" we meet again ......
