Jimmy and Regina provide a plot of ground for a "Produce Patch" that members of their church help to work to grow produce for "Feed More" in Richmond (
https://feedmore.org/). The ground was ready for further preparation a few days ago, so Jimmy enlisted us to help out.
 |
| First, Jimmy needed to till the ground - he was hooking up the tiller... |
 |
| And away he went! |
 |
| Wow! That does a great job of tilling up the soil! It made the soil loose and pliable. |
Then the plan was to put down "mulch" - a material that is laid down on the ground with a special applicator machine:
 |
| When it works, it works really nicely! |
On Saturday, it mostly worked nicely...
 |
| We put down 19 strips on Saturday... |
 |
| We didn't get them all quite even at the ends, but they were ok... |
We helped with laying 19 more rows on Monday, which I think is all that is needed for the planned plantings for this year.
