An essential tool, leaky pipe.
Thanks to Betsy we have enough for the first five beds so can irrigate without watering too many weeds and the piles of stones at the same time. Watering along the ridge makes a lot of sense.
Now I need some mulch, or manure, or both ideally. I've got some sheet mulch but need to bag up some stones to weigh it down as the wind wipes across the wield.
Good day yesterday though I spent most of the day messing about with carbs on the rotavators but at least it was successful. There is a therapy with mechanics but alas I am not sure that Zen and the art of rotavator maintenance would make a best seller.
Must listen to this weeks Gardeners Question time as it came from the conference centre at East Malling Research. Wonder if they have solutions to stones?
Latest idea is for a 'voluntary unincorporated association' to run things but as that may not provide the structure we need for the CSA I can't get excited about a short term fix for any reason other than to form a core group.
