Backyard Homestead Garden 2024 DIY Project Part 1

[@Twobarpsi]

Congratulations on starting so early! You definitely got a lot accomplished on the first day. The best results I have gotten with my gardens, more than any other factor, is making sure the garden gets a lot of direct sunlight. Looking forward to watching your progress!

Thanks Julie did a lot of it I’ll be trimming some trees to get more light There’s some big trees behind the Garden so hopefully we get 6 plus hours of light we’ll see Thanks for watching More updates to come as we proceed w the Garden

That's a lot of hard work, and such a good thing to do.

The concrete slab can be used to secure a green house to the ground. They are fairly cheap from Amazon. I have six raised beds in the area of an old 27 foot round pool location. I can grow everything I want. Remember the bigger the area the more work it is to manage. Also what grows good one year, might not grow great the next year.

Thanks! Great info Definitely will look into a green house at some point

Good for you. A garden can be a nice source of fresh veggies. If your soil is acidic, the wood ashes can be added to the soil to make it sweeter. Start a compost pile somewhere out of the way. A wood chipper and an old rear tine rototiller can help a lot. To first clear for my garden, I had to use a shovel dozer and then dig up and screen the soil because it was so rocky. I use a small trailer behind my van to get composted horse manure to add to my soil each year. I'm planning to do some container gardening this year because of pests. I use rain barrels to save on well water. Good Luck, Rick

thanks very much!

That will be a nice slab for maybe a picnic table and potted plants once it’s exposed.

Good job you all. These projects can be so rewarding. The only tip I would offer is not to let this False Spring lure you into a sense of security. Anxiously planting too early only to lose your tender plants to freezes is quite devastating and deflating.

[@baskets8429]

Thanks, that’s a good tip We will be growing indoors until the warmth really starts up Then should transfer everything to the outdoors garden

[@SueN1965]

like your vision, good luck

the flat stone looks to me is Flag Stone. its good for land scaping for sure. if you was closer id bring the small compact tractor with the front loader and let you use it.
