Preparing the beds


March 21-22
Layout and dig the central bed.
Double dig the soil and mix spaghum moss and composted cow manure with the last of a bag of chicken poo.
It was 28F this morning and never topped 32.
There are no leaves yet on any of the trees and the sun is still low in the southern sky.
Central bed gets full sun from 9:30am-5pm, with some dappled sun in the early morning. In the evening a pine tree provides a shadow.
The western bed gets full sun from 9:30-4:30pm.
The eastern bed gets full fun from 12pm-5:15pm, with some dappled sun in the morning through the hedges which aren't grown in. There's also a large oak tree next door that provides shade here in the summer.
