In the center of this view is the area where I will be gardening in 2021. This is the future of my farming experience. The ground is mostly covered by a tough grass that has developed a dense room system. To begin preparing the soil (old forest, Tokul soil) I broadcast about ten pounds of a cover crop mix containing whatever I had in stock (oats, winter rye, crimson clover, etc.).
A small pond lies just to the east (right in photo) and a large pond just to the south. I just staked out an area 65ft by 65ft as the prospective garden. I’ll begin with sections of that larger area in 2021 and expand to the full dimensions by 2022.
