i am renting a backhoe to kick the back forty's ASS
and prep it for BEDS and roto-tilling on the tenth of JULY
that'll cost us $350 Bucks....for one DAY
BECAUSE ....its to much to do it manually
via a simple shovel with my arthritic feet...
i'm too old for that now....
especially with new ground... it was a garden long ago but now its been fallow for too long...
2nd mowing today to -> stop the grass
just hauled home
2nd load of free ten foot oak fence posts
to keep the deer out today and yesterday as a matter of fact.

i'll still have to sift it thru the 4 x 8 screen set up
(sifter )
but i enjoy doing that.... in the wee hours of the morning
it's my form of exercise
TILTH......is the magic word...
it coincides with "fall magic" leaves falling and bringing things into the green house
to mature when frost is expected....
i'll haul fifty van loads of maple leaves to grind up and mulch til the weeds
don't stand a chance....cuz it'll be 6 inches deep...
then worms will flourish and watering will be cut in half.
note: read the
Ruth Stout "no work garden book" @ the library
just remember...if anything
artificially
drives the price of fuel up
to something outrageous... food prices will be sure to follow.
