Step 3: Dig in bed, place branches to hold in moisture as they decay
Step 4: Spread manure over branches to add nutrients
Step 5: Bury branches and double dig over

Step 7: Planting! This bed will be for early salad greens
Must not have been raining much, and looks like a sunny aspect. Been enjoying winter carrots for the second season, from Barking Moon Farms. On a par with very dark chocolate for getting me through the dark days.

It’s been remarkably sunny and we timed building this just before we got some rain to soak it in. The hope is to hold off on installing irrigation lines a bit longer in case of cold snaps but it’s been remarkably warm this winter. Eerily so. I’ve been sticking out bird feeders more regularly too
Yummy soil, beautiful smooth seedbed. Enjoy!
Smooth as it was going to get with the little fella behind the rototiller
The good life.
You should come check it out for yourself to make sure it’s truly as good as it looks.
