We have begun clearing and preparing the space for The Giving Garden!
In January, John bush hogged as much space as we thought we could reasonably handle for the inaugural season of the garden. Two weeks ago, John borrowed a bottom plow from Donnie Marks to begin breaking up the soil. The next step will be to test the soil for any deficiencies content we need to correct. We suspect we may need to spread some lime, at the least.
But even before the soil test comes back, we will begin tilling and adding in organic compost/fertilizer.
As you may have noticed, so far most of the work has been done by John. Other than choosing what I hope is the best location (based on what I know about the hot summer sun's movement over the area), my real work will begin once the soil has been prepared and we begin planting.
Our excitement increases with each step we take to give back to the Lord by way of giving to our community. We will post pictures and updates every few weeks.
