Fire Pit field comments

In the early spring we amended the ground with composted cow and horse manure. Then tilled that under.

Each bed was built after amending the soil with Cheep Cheep (North Country Organics 4 3 3 fertilizer made from dehydrated chicken litter) and lime. The ground was broad forked, then using a hoe we pulled the soil into mounds, then using rakes we shaped the beds. To build one bed took about 3 hours from start to finish.

Each bed has between 2 to three rows of transplants, and up to 5 rows where direct seed was applied.
