In this episode I described some preparation we are undertaking in the garden in anticipation of spring. 

Christina, Micah and I spent the lonely day here in Central Florida outside getting our hands dirty. Micah especially likes digging with his smaller shovel, moving dirt from one side to the other. Topics discussed include maintenance of a compost pile, hot vs not hot composting, and if you add kitchen scrapes to the pile, is it advisable to exclude meat/carcass leftovers. We established a new raised bed. I wonder to myself whether treated lumber would cause a problem in terms of chemicals seeping into the soil. And, if for the same reason, old palettes should be avoided as garden planters. I also mention getting some mushroom compost from a farm near by and the potential benefits of using that to amend soil.The value of the quality time spent with the family outdoors can't be understated, and for that I am grateful.

If you have some gardening experiences you can relate to help this wannabe farm out, I would greatly appreciate any feedback!

Thanks for listening!
