square foot gardening, post vacation return to work, c25k

SQUARE FOOT GARDENING CONTINUED

have continued and completed my square foot garden for my 

fall garden     will add more things later 

this is from a previous blog       this shows the 4 x 12 ft square garden 

overseeded with black eyed peas    

is used as a cover crop    helps fix nitrogen into the soil

this is from a previous blog     the peas have been removed     have added

a layer of compost and organic fertilizer     will add molasses later

this is worked into the soil

have added drip irrigation tubing 1 foot apart with drippers every 6 inches

on each tubing line 

this is all connected to my rainwater tanks 

using concrete wire with 1 foot squares 

planted the cole crops-broccoli  cabbage  kale  brussel sprouts

and caulflower-  lettuces  mustard greens and swiss chard each into 

a square foot 

will add more lettuce spinach cabbages radishes beets later by 

broadcasting the seeds over the end of the bed

placed 18 inch rebar every 3 feet on both sides of the garden bed

then took 1/2 inch pvc pipe(had several left over from old project)

slipped the pvc over the rebar then bend it over to the other side 

then slipped it into the rebar 

this will be used to hold a light weight row cover

this shows the light weight row cover over the pvc pipes

this acts as a protection from the grass hoppers the heat and  

the different caterpillars that come by this time of the year

and later as protection from the cold

this shows how you can open up the side of the row cover hoop to 

water or plant or pick veggies 

will leave this on most if not all of the winter 

if have a cold winter will add or substiute a thicker row cover
