Hauling Compost For Garden ~ Lumber Haul ~ Cleaning Up

My camera has been glitching out so I missed some footage but I got a good lumber yard haul as well as compost for our new organic garden. And we are cleaning up in front of our new home. Read full article here: http://www.thedoityourselfworld.com/articles/article.php?id=11442

We are planning to have an organic garden this year in order to grow enough food to feed our family through the winter. We are also going to raise chickens for meat and eggs. Along with hunting and fishing we hope to store up enough food to last us an entire year and reduce our food dependency on the grocery stores.

I got a nice lumber yard haul for building our chicken coop. Some of the wood was in better shape and will be used for building shelving and other things for our new homestead.

I unloaded the chicken coop wood onto pallets where the chickens will be living. Then I put the nice lumber on pallets by the off grid wood shop.

I hauled two truck loads of composted leaves as well today. I managed to get one load spread out over the garden. I see that it will take another 5 loads to get a half inch thick layer on the garden.

We plan to have an organic garden this year using all natural materials. The composted leaves tilled into the soil will help to add fertilizer to the garden.

After sitting a few days I will do a PH test to see how acidic the soil is. I will amend the soil with lime as needed.

Then we can start planting in our new homestead garden.
