I have set aside some time to help with the creation of the Dojo garden out at Sensei's ranch. If you have some time and would like to help let me know. I have plans to be out at the ranch Friday April 6th. More than likely I will have several kids with me so if you would like to help with the garden or have kids and would like to help bring them with you.
A couple of items that might be of use:
Roto-Tiller (We can rent one and if someone knows of a good place let me know)
Compost - We will need as much as we can get
Seedlings - If you have certain veggies in mind and know how to grow them please share your knowledge.
Half Casks or Rail timbers for the plant beds - We are thinking about a raised bed planting ideas and will need some help with the bed creation.
Fencing - It would be nice to put a rodent/deer fence around the garden, if anyone has materials or experience with fencing your help would be nice.
Thanks
Bob
I would say that the rodent (rabbit)/deer fence is not just a nice to have but a neccesity, given the numbers of each out that way. I am willing to help with some chicken wire to enclose individual plants, but won't be able to show up until Saturday afternoon. Anyone else able to be there then, let me know...
ReplyDeleteI have never been to the ranch , so I don't know the layout, but have you considered maybe planting some fruit trees like plum, cherry, or apple? of course it would be years before any fruit could be harvested, but it still could be a cool idea to plant a couple, especially for the kids. They can grow up with the trees!
ReplyDeleteI was able to escape work earlier on Thursday and headed out to Sensei's ranch to plant some veggies.
