Ben and I Started Gardening






My friend Ben has a backyard with some extra room and soil. What he doesn't have is experience gardening. Together we make a team. Anna and I went with him to Stanford on Saturday to get some toys and on Sunday we started making his garden. Wow, double-digging compacted soil is HARD. Mostly sand with fat clay. Not much for organics however, I did finally find one worm once we started getting out of the super compacted areas. We got Ben's side done and now just need to work on mine and get compost. We're also going to do some heavy metal testing.
