This is my vegetable patch. It's a 20'x30' area just outside my back door, between the house and the greenhouse. There are three rows of planting beds measuring 4'x8' each, with mulched paths in between. It's surrounded by a 2' tall wire fence. I believe this was the original vegetable garden for the homestead, but when we moved in, it had been used by the previous owners as a dump. I wanted to bring it back to it's original purpose. So, I started by clearing a small area and then making my compost pile there. I rototilled the pile the following spring and then planted the plot. I repeated the technique each year, and slowly expanded the garden to the original size. Soil tests have turned out great, and the yields have improved each season. With that task accomplished, it's now time to fancy it up. Stay tuned, It's going to be great!
