Amendment Line-Up

While the structure still needs some key components (shutter vents to be installed for one) the soil also needs some preparation work. While this may be early in the season, with the plastic cover the risk for flushing out any amendments is reduced so going in early is justified.

This area is about 32ft. x 40ft. with 30 cubic feet of Peat Moss being added along with 50lb of lime and 20 pounds of 0-0-50. This will be tilled in with the grass before applying OxiDate 5.0 as a drench followed by weed block. On top of this will be a smaller cold-frame (12ft. long x 8ft. wide) that the plants will go into "soon".
