Getting started on the veggie garden! Raised beds!

First video of the spring. I’m making raised beds for the garden and adding homemade compost. Last year was a bad season from lack of nitrogen. Let’s see if adding a ton of compost changes that.

    The most obvious humor in an acre, is that people often ume that an acre, is a based upon a perfect square!

    An acre is around 209 feet by 209 feet. My property is 1/4 mile by 1/2 mile. That’s approximately the same square footage as 60 professional football fields. wow.

    I used to grow clover and rye and turn it over for green manure. I now just mow the grass in the garden oftenm and compost that all summer and add it along with a summer’s worth of composted chicken manure to the spring garden. If my calculations are correct, by next year I should have a ch-ch-ch-Chia garden! :)

    Btw I am seriously wanting to see videos of your garden, home and chickens when you finally can upload them. You’re one of the few who does this sort of stuff that I know.

    Your system looks good. You really don’t need all the commercial fertilizer. The best fertillizer is in green manured dirt. It’s time released and has the full spectrum of nutrients not just NPK. I took agronmomy at u of m nearly four years. Grow a legume cover crop in one of those beds and turn it over midseason to rot until the next spring then till. That’s green manure. It’s good stuff.
    I’ve got 10′X 4′ timber planters.
    I can’t load videos on you tube for now.
    I hope they fix things.
