The beginnings of our soil “experiment” start with our planter boxes which we had already established a few years ago and installed irrigation set-ups in each box (smartest thing we did in that garden!).   For now, just because this is new for us, we are only using one planter box to see how well it works.

We purchased greenhouse domes made by Outsunny which fit our box which measures approximately 8’x4′.  Rory and Chewy really wanted to be in the photo. We added a little peat moss in and tilled the soil (yes, I know, gasp… we should be turning it by hand with a shovel, but to be fair, it’s winter and soil tends to be hard.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The basic of outdoor plants that we, in our household consume were planted
(in order from left to right):

• Peas
• Brussels Sprouts
• Broccoli
• Beets
• Acorn Squash
• Onion (red and yellow, planted throughout the whole garden).

 

As the season progresses, updates will be posted.
