Show us your Plant Out 2018 Photos

[AJ Drew]

Share some of your plant out photos from 2018.  This is us setting the first rows.  We rebuild the rows alternately, every couple years.  First a layer of yard waste, sticks, tree limbs, grass, leaves, barn scrapings.  Then a layer of top soil.  Even whole tree branches are turned to dirt by the time of the next reset.  Not saying it is the best method in the world, but so far no sign of bad nourishment even with no chemical fertilizer.
 
Your turn.  How do you grow?

When I till, they go threw and eat the grubs I turn up.  I hate grubs.
 

 

[Edmick]

Heres my setup. Still have some stuff to plant but it's gettin there.

 

[Bhuter]

I don't do much. I spread a granular fertilizer, till it in, we lay down plastic, then things get planted with Epsom and Garden Lime in each hole.

 

[AJ Drew]

Bhuter, wow that soil looks rich. 

Edmich, is that corn in the right had corner?  Knee high by the fourth of july?  Oh damn.  Ours is maybe six inches now.

Good duck!  I need one that will eat aphids, white flies, chinch bugs, love bugs, sod grubs, snails, lizards, snakes, frogs and toads, squirrels (lots of them), and the occasional solicitor that can't read the "no soliciting" sign.

Ever heard of Lasagna Gardening? I used it for years and above sounds very close! Keep layering... leaves - grass clippings - weeds - potato peelings - wood ashes all good! Good Great growing season AJ!

What, the duck? Those things have a buncha different nicknames... Barbary Duck, Mute Duck, Pato Casero, etc...

I wish I had the kinda property that could support a lil flock of ducks

 

[Walchit]

Is that a muskovy? Idk if I spelled that right.

Thank you, AJ! The only thing I add to it is: I spread a granular fert, then just epsom and lime in each hole. They always do so much better when I get them in the ground. Thanks again!

My uncle has laying ducks - Welsh Harlequins. 2 drakes and I think he's up to 14 hens (just adopted 5 that a friend needed to offload). They're dual purpose birds, though I don't think he's slaughtered any yet. They're all in a roughly 20x15 ft pen.
