Got in my shipment of 500 red wigglers from Jims Worm Farm to add to my raised beds. Hoping those little guys help give my garden a good boost!!

A few weeks ago I tore down about 80% of our aquaponics garden and converted it into raised beds. I filled the beds with a mixture of leaves from the yard and chicken manure from our almost 50 hens. I've been given the green light to collect horse manure from the property behind us and mix than into our compost pile for later in the year. Our soil is almost 100% sand so I've been collecting coffee grounds from Starbucks for the past few weeks and mixing that in as well. I hope like heck we can get some veggies this year.

I've been working on fertility in mine this year. Put a load of quail litter on the garden and have been tilling as often as possible. Was pretty rank around here for awhile especially if it's humid.I just hope that it doesn't flood everything this year. Last year onions rotted. Squash rotted. Did have one heck of a zipper cream pea crop though.

I've only got about 300 sq. ft. available for a garden due to our postage stamp sized back yard. I'm gonna put down some horse manure (plenty available this political season coming from the left). I'm thinking of planting some green beans and maybe some squash. This will be a project for me and the 4 year old grandson.
