I thought it was Carter that wanted to be a farmer!?!?!?!?
Ryan, I can relate because my Gardner garden started out with the same clay mess about 7 years ago. In general, Kansas topsoil is good, but the problem in the suburbs is that you get stuck with whatever clay garbage the home builder left on top and threw sod over. You can go the quick route and buy some top soil to put in a framework of landscape timbers, or the slow route (like I did) and work in manure, humus and peat moss every year. My garden is about the same size. I added landscape timbers and have added 500-800 lbs. of manure and humus every year (that's not as much as it sounds like) and also composted lots of yard and food waste. I also understand that adding sand and lime can be helpful though I've only bothered with the lime myself. Gradually the soil quality has improved and it is a lot better now. Good luck!
By the way, that's one heckuva tiller you've got there in the picture. If that's your personally, I'm going to have to get to know you better so I can borrow it once in a while!
DJ is in the middle of the exact same project!! He is dreading it! Good luck! Maybe you guys can call each and be each other's support! :)
Hmmmm, that's quite a project. We don't really like "projects" at our house, so have fun with that!
I love Morgan's hair bow/flowers, the bigger the better is my motto. She is soooo cute!!!
My old neighbors across the street, directly behind the Griggs have a raised garden......made from those "lincoln logs"....just build em' up and then fill em' with dirt :) No tiller needed...just a thought for the future.
Maria I'm so sorry for the mess.......is this Ryan's way of getting rid of those pesky rabbits or attracting more? :)
