Breaktime

Taking a break from working in the yard.

Decided against digging the garden out. Way too much work manually, with all the roots holding the soil together. Instead, going to compost in place. Have a bunch of tarps and black plastic which aren't good for much else. Going to turn some of the soil over, dampen it down and cover with tarps and plastic and keep it that way over the winter. Probably add some diluted ammonia to feed the microbes.

Took apart the planters down the center of the garden and will toss the soil into the garden, also. Picked up trash the dog has torn up and that has blown into the yard. Moved all the pallets to one spot.

Not a bad list of accomplishements for under 2 hours. After some coffee, get some more done but can't do too much more. Scheduled to work tonight and have to take at least a short nap to remain alert.
