Here is the second photo of the patch after I finished burying the soil cables and erected the supports for the greenhouse I will build over the patch tomorrow.
I got off work very late today (5:30pm) and I was not pleased knowing how much I had to do--usually I get home at 4:00pm. I had to move fast--you can imagine with all that earth to move I was diggin like I was possessed. By the time I was done in the patch it was 8:39! My wife was not pleased, as you can imagine.
The good thing about all the time I spent figuring out how to bury the cables was that in my frustration I mixed the soil up very well. The rye is almost completely decomposed and the soil is deep, black, and fluffy. I was able to sink a pry bar into it with ease to a depth of 4.5 feet. I hope all the time I spent composting over the past year pays off--my back is killing me right now.
In the back of the photo is my regular garden (right now I have garlic, shallots, and I just seeded lettuce and carrots).
