The Double Dig

I have now done the double dig and put the plants in the ground. This video was done last weekend and shows the cover crop turned into the soil. I only amended with some fish bone meal for the phosphorous that I know my soil needs.

A moderate rain had washed the fava mush and the bone meal into the soil. I then did a double dig to the bed. I have moved the earth more to the sunny side of the garden and raked the large clods to the shady side. I will work on breaking them up as I weed and maintain the bed.

Since this video was done I have planted the tomatoes and the pepperoncini.
