To "dig" or not to "dig"...

...that is the question-that I have been working on! Because we had such great double diggers last year on the North side of the garden in addition to almost half of the total beds successfully cover cropped through the winter, it looks like we might be able to refrain from having to double dig all the beds and focus on only the ones that deep rooted vegetables will be planted in. We will also be utilizing a fun tool called the broadfork that is being loaned to us by another community garden. That should save some of our energy and efforts for maybe digging a couple new beds as theme gardens (ie. butterfly, edible flowers, cut flowers). Planning on spending a good part of the day tomorrow breathing in some fresh spring air in our garden! Hope to see some of you out there! It WILL be good! -Donna
