Baymule’s 2019 Garden

[baymule]

Today we laid down pumpkin boxes, they are triple thickness. We loaded up the Mule with wood chip mulch and spread over the boxes. DH is snoozing in his recliner now. LOL We'll do some more tomorrow.

Your soil has changed a lot Bay! Good work!

I cant believe you can already plow a garden. Its way to wet and cold in Tn. Sure pays to live further south.

Remember that when the bugs start coming out.....

that dirt looks good enuf for me to plunk down, and start running my hands thru it. Yes, I like dirt (not clay. not sand. not rocks).

So clay, sand and rocks aren’t dirt? That’s all we have. We don’t have the idiot dirt of Iowa/Illinois.

Technically, it's all soil. Not necessarily healthy soil, but soil indeed. If you can make it work for you I tip my hat .I desperately need pointers on clay. What are you able to get to thrive in that environment? My mama has a yard full of it. What's idiot dirt?

 

[seedcorn]

Idiot dirt is slang for any idiot can grow plants in this soil...

Also called monkey dirt-if you could train a monkey to drive a tractor, he could farm there.

Those of us in NE Indiana that work with clay, sand, gravel with terrible CEC’s, make fun of those with God given high CEC’s with fertility to burn (yes, we are jealous and question our family for settling in this challenged ground vs traveling west to the black ground.)
