First beds going in
Today it was 40 degrees before it drops again down to a high of 22. So I thought I’d try getting some of the compost taking up the drive way out. Great looking leaf humus from CYC Mulch in Mantua.
With the current garden trailer, I had to shovel it in then shovel it out. Because I’m an idiot. That took 30 minutes and barely covered 1/6th of one tunnel. Below you can see the initial bed. Its not covered enough but I wanted to weigh the paper down. The paper is kraft paper from staples. Enough to kill the weeds, I hope. Then degrade fast enough for root vegetables. My initial plan was cardboard. However, gathering that much cardboard and hoping it degraded by planting time was not feasible.
I need a wheelbarrow really. Shoveling twice was too much work. And I had to wade through a few inches of mud because this half of the tunnel isn’t draining for some reason. So I’m looking at Gorilla Carts at lowes for a tow behind/wheelbarrow hybrid option I can use to dump right into the beds. Otherwise, I don’t see how this would all get done on time.
