Project Start: About May 1st 2013.

This is my new garden bed. It is 400 sq. ft. I started by pounding wooden sticks into the ground at 2 ft intervals into my hard clay then covered it with cardboard.

Then I added 3 inches of compost.

I then added my soil amendments from a previous soil test, then covered everything with 3 inches of wood chips.

Next, I top dressed with mushroom compost and compost tea (AACT) to inoculate the soil.

I tried using beer but it didn't work, until I gave it to the slugs. Last edited by Master_Gardener; May 24, 2013 at 07:03 PM. Reason: didn't like the url pictures. wanted them in-line.
