|    Garden Rotation    |
|    08 Sep 19 12:26:57    |
      From: pintiha@jhmi.edu              We're going to rotate two of the garden sections for next year. We currently       have three sections to our vegetable garden, each 25 feet wide and 30 feet       long, all adjacent with a walkway between the sections. From left to right,       for the last three years        they've been 1, the pumpkin patch; 2, vegetable left; and 3, vegetable right.       The two vegetable sections have a variety of rows, containing corn, beans,       potatoes, melons, tomatoes, etc. We have been changing the crops amongst the       rows each year and add        compost and manure to the rows every fall.               For next year, we're going to switch the pumpkin patch with vegetable left,       putting the pumpkin patch between the two vegetable sections. After harvesting       the pumpkins next month, we'll bring a few loads of sheep manure from the barn       to spread over the        gardens, then till them in before winter hits. Hopefully, the plants will       enjoy a change of scenery.              In a few years, we'll probably switch the pumpkin patch with vegetable right.               Paul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
