Back at it

I had to be away from the farm for a while and then it was rainy, so
I'm getting going again. Last week we picked up this round bale at
progressive farm in harwood for mulching, composting, and filling
potato towers.

One layer back is the dwindling but still big pile of horse compost,
which the little plants in our potting mix seem to like, though it
clearly has the weed seeds in it.

In the background looking tiny is about five yards of woodchips; I
took the neighbors to the salvage yard and had to swerve around the
tree on the way there, on the way back the county was just finishing
up chipping it up. They followed me back and unloaded it. Must create
a turnaround for large vehicles...

The chips will be used for garden paths, "paving" over green areas
where we need truck traction, and deep mulching where we will plant
trees in the future.
