here we are Michael's garden
well I should say Laura's garden really
it's going to be hers
this is my drip irrigation system
comes down from
the rain water barrels
as you can see
those are fed by the rain water hose
comes over to the barrels
which are connected
and comes out the bottom
then we have a lot of beautiful compost from our bins
that's it. that and some straw
layered in here
the bottom is mostly organic matter
oh, it's leaves then organic matter
then straw
then the best dirt of the compost
and the whole thing is about six feet tall
serves dual purpose of keeping the dogs in the yard
and allowing plants here
to grow up
like beans and peas and
other things that want to grow up
as you can see
the drip system needs some help
but it is in fact dripping water
at some point i will
come and poke some more holes in this
hose because it was
one of those pressure
sprayer hoses and there's not a lot of pressure when you're just
relying on a little bit of gravity to pull the water down
look at this dirt some good stuff
you still can see seeds, leaves, some bark
avocado skin
different little pieces of organic matter
not completely decomposed yet
you can bet they will
next up is to cover this all with some more straw
to help aid in water retention and then
Laura will come out here and plant away
and then in a couple months we'll have a solid green fence
full of delicious
and healthy foods
