Mandi, myself, and our neighbors, Raul and Maria, just got the majority of our CO-OP garden planted yesterday. Just so everyone knows, Mandi is the Garden Boss, if the garden fails to produce, it will be her fault
We spent considerable time working the gumbo soil that we live on. Used a cultivator, an offset disc, and a 6' tiller/ rotovater. We spread ~16 cubic yards of manure/ stall cleanings, then tilled that in about 8".
After making our rows, we ended up with 83 rows, that are 40' long.
This week we will bring out an excavator and install 700' of 1-1/2 waterline to keep the garden watered during the heat of the summer.
Here is what we planted
