I'm afraid that too often I smell like the organic fertilizer.

Well! What are you gonna do?! It is a little dusty and the wind blows . . .

There are onion plants to begin setting out next. It will be the first trip to the big veggie garden and I'm trying to figure out what would be the best way to deal with the situation . . . I'm thinking of going over the ground with the spading fork AND the tiller. Getting to some real depth will take the fork but those onions need/appreciate that organic fertilizer like nobody's business! Mixing it in well with the tiller and having the softest ground out there in the gravel would sure make "plunkin'" onion plants down every few inches in the bed an easier job!

Then I can come home with the smell of onions/gasoline fumes/organic fertilizer/& sweat!

This wasn't what you and Margaret Atwood had in mind, was it Carol Dee?
