Soil Preparation

I used my Dad's tiller to turn the garden deeply. This mixed in the yard of compost I had applied. It also mixed in the gypsum to loosen the clay.


About two weeks later I had made the beds and trails in the garden. I shoveled trenches out of the garden and piled the soil up to make raised beds.


The upper three beds are the best soil so they didn't get a second application of compost. I was able to spread the compost on the lower beds just before a one inch rain.
The upper beds are planted but it's been really cold so we may have to replant them. I'll till these lower beds before planting them.
