The soil in the new garden spaces
needed lots of help.
We built it no-till-style.

We added layers of the
Pickens County Progress to
stifle the existing weeds.

We then added a layer
of hay to aid with nutrients
and drainage. However, learn
from our mistake....the hay
made lots of grass grow from
the seeds in the hay.

Soil and mulch were
added on top of the hay.
These layers will compost
to make healthy soil!

We added a final layer
of mulch on top of the soil.
This will help ratain moisture.

Time to add some plants!
This plot will contain mints, rosemary, fennel, sage, & more.

Our crew was productive!
In 45 minutes we rebuilt the soil
and added the plants.
Now they just need to grow!
