Gardening Adventure - Digging out the Bricks for Homesteading
Thanks to last night rain, the soil get bit dump enough to plough. It was @minismallholding post yesterday that reminded me to plough out my rocky backyard. It is a good place for gardening, where half of the portion were fully utilised with seasonal vegetables and mango trees, however the remaining part were very rocky with many brick pieces underneath.
So looking at the opportunity, I started to plough up a bit on the dump soil a little while ago.
I started, by ploughing up, near my Guava trees. A small tree which is 3 years old still not growing up properly. By now we would expect some fruit out of it. On ploughing , we get what we expected. A lot of bricky soil.
Looking at first layer of such soil, I gave much time on getting it properly digged. And as a result, I get enough bricks from within the soil. To my best use, I will put them in making , a boundary on those gardening square.
Getting best use of my backyard. There are few guest as well. We have summer season and as I read somewhere, most of the bugs, beetles get underground soil, and to my surprise I get many, ants,bugs earthworm and beetle.
Hope you notice the black, bug right at the centre of the above pic. Anyway, it was a good outing, my finger get scratched a bit by digging out those bricks. Still there is more ploughing to be done, hope to get more rain to slowly continue on my work. Next time, I try to get my selfie as well 😉 (proof of work). This post is last minute preparation post the ploughing.🙂
Add to more good news, we are expecting, Monsoon by end of this week, so hopefully , we gone have some good times on my farming and gardening. Keep you posted👍
Stay Calm....
