The cradle of zombies lives! (kinda!)
Last year I asked for some advice on getting our patch going.
The passt few weeks, we've been working on it & i thought some of you might be interested to see it progress.
Last week we marked & stripped the sod off of a 20' x 30' patch in what used to be a horse paddock. Sadly, we found gravel under the sod - which made stripping the sod off easy, but, isnt going to be plantable.
This weekend, we've levelled the gravel out & have a couple of loads of topsoil lined up to be brought in next week & have ordered up the components to assemble an automated soaker watering system.
Have a couple of varieties of seeds ready, includinig the Atlantic Giants my mom wants (i dont see anyone carving them though!)
Can wait to start planting!
Will update when the soil's in place!
