What a busy few days. When it comes to homesteading there is always a lot to learn and share. We worked on the following:
- installed an anti-deer fence
- installed 15 elderberry plants with a biodegradable mat around them with hay on top
- planted 7 fig and 2 peach trees

- put down a 50′ x 100′ foot tarp in the vegetable garden area to solarize and help kill weeds before we plant in April
Thanks again to everyone who helped!
