I added a couple inches of alfalfa hay to our raised garden beds yesterday. This should help with water savings as well as add some nutirents to the soil as it breaks down. I will add a few pictures in a day or two. The garden seems to be doing well. I did a foliar spray yesterday as well. I used the sameold mixture of liquid seaweed, fish emulsion and vinegar.
Also working on getting the rain gutters installed. Have not heard of any rain in the future, but I know as soon as I put it up we'll get some :) Until the next post!
Follow along with me as I create and maintain organic raised garden beds and landscape in the extreme and unforgiving Arizona desert! Learn, share and ask questions. Together this garden blog will provide valuable knowledge of working organic principals to create your own mini ecosystem. Let's make the garden the first place you want to go and the last place you want to leave!
