And empty and waiting for next season...ahhh....I'm so jealous!1st Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04861609647607912193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705778064850148431.post-67410961559121624172011-11-08T14:35:30.722-05:002011-11-08T14:35:30.722-05:00I have been reading your blog off and on. Decide...I have been reading your blog off and on. Decided to read all the way back to the beginning. Think I should have been doing that before. Reading and rereading and learning. I would like to thank you for all the work you have done for this blog. So much info. tips, and ideas all throughout. Now I have to go back to the beginning and reread. So much to read and learn. We have a little acre that we hope to get moved on by the early spring. Once the septic goes in, hoping by Jan or Feb, then I can start to get things set up for some simple gardening this year coming up.<br /><br /> We live here in SE Ala so spring comes early and so does planting. I may have a source for sawdust and found someplace to get some bales of hay. Most farmers here bale their hay in those big round things, but this place has the small square bales. Will be easier for me to handle. Last year, not this past summer I got dirt, compost, mushroom compost, pearl lite and cow manure in bags and mixed it all up on a tarp and put it in buckets, instruction per the square foot gardener, and tried and failed to grow some tomato plants. So right now I have many buckets of dirt and 3 45 gal garbage cans of dirt. That will be the start for my garden. the acre was farm land that was subdivided and grew cotton, corn, peanuts, and maybe soybeans. So I hope to get in 1 or 2 4 x 4 squares and maybe a patch and maybe a hill or two. This lasagna mulching sounds real interesting, so I will try that on the patch and hill. I am sure cause of the heat here my buckets were not the best thing. Just hope it wasn't the soil I bought. Will see what happens. <br /><br />Again, thank you and I will probably be asking questions later.LindaSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08036032268931531402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6705778064850148431.post-7412810027069748352011-11-07T20:05:25.768-05:002011-11-07T20:05:25.768-05:00Ah yes, one of the many uses for a front end loade...Ah yes, one of the many uses for a front end loader. Melissa refuses to pick up any of my chains because I dribble used motor oil on them to keep them from rusting. :) <br /><br />Our big Kubota decided to die completely the other day when I turned it off. Absolutely nothing happened when I turned the key, leading me to believe something serious was afoot with my newly rebuilt starter, or the alternator was out, or the battery was faulty. After testing ALL of these systems repeatedly I could find nothing wrong so I left and went home. The next morning, mostly on a hope because I did nothing more to it, I turned the key and presto, it fired right up.......Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09092424684260339977noreply@blogger.com
