Reclaiming a bed: Part Deux

Greetings from the farm. These last couple of weeks we have been further working on the construction project that I've been chronicling. As you can see in the pictures, we've finished clearing off the top layer of soil and have started the process of digging out the holes for the plastic planters. The reason for the planters hearkens back to how thick the soil is with clay. If we were to just try and plant anything here without the planters to contain any good soil, the bed would be a failure. The project should be nearing completion here in the next week or so since most of the hard labor is now out of the way. As always, I'll be sure to keep you updated as this project winds down and a brand new one begins.
