Homestead Happenings
In The Loop So we've been pretty busy in the 5 weeks we've been here. I started a new job and Shannon has been spending 4 hours a day travelling to work and back. Yet, we've still managed to do quite a bit. The Back To Eden Food Forest is progressing well. Every chance I get, I'm out there spreading mulch with the wheelbarrow. I'm about a third of the way there. I think its about 40 cubic meters of mulch I've moved so far. I don't know how many hundreds of wheelbarrows, or better yet, how many shovel full's of mulch that is, and quite frankly, i don't want to think about it. But, it's getting done, that's the main thing. You can see the remnants of the french drain trench in the photo below. At the start of March I can place my order for bare root fruit trees. It's going to be a pricy order, but buying in bulk will bring the costs down. I'm going to take a stab and say I'll get around 30-40 trees initially.
