Thank you, Gloria......
I am in the midst of fall chores getting ready for winter and doing my fall mulching, so I just glanced at the thread, but saved the link so I could check it out when I am not so tired.
From the look of the photos in that thread, I think all of that hard labor was done by people with younger bodies than mine. I cannot imagine being able to do that work myself, but with Frank's help it might be possible.
Frank told me today that he pulled six logs out of a culvert he was cleaning out on his property and put them at the site we were planning on using for our bed. Most of the wood in the photos look a lot like the slash that lands in most people's burn piles up here.
No ant hills to be had, but Frank may have better soil than I do. I do have ants working in my compost pile. Tonight I even had a raccoon stirring stuff around looking for something he might like. Good thing I always bury my kitchen waste at the bottom of the pile.
I like the concept, but cannot imagine having a bed like that to actually grow things in which was not fenced in to protect it from an invasion of lots of critters. I had been thinking of the bed we are making as a large compost pile. I may have to do some re-thinking.
Smiles,
Lyn
