Whew! Two solid days converting old raised beds into jeavons/bio intensive-style double dug beds. Then managed to get our garlic in before the first freeze this week! 1) nope, we didn’t kill and bury someone in our backyard. This is what decompacted soil looks like. 2) All raked, stringed and dibbled. Ready for garlic! 3) “Hopper” planting out 100 garlic cloves. 4) Sq**rt separating cloves from this year’s garlic to be planted. We have roughly doubled our yield each year.
