One of our neighbors, Wayne Hussey, brought in Mabel and Jane this past Saturday to start building what will become our raised beds.
They plowed up 11 beds in no time at all. In fact, we spent more time driving back to Wayne's to replace a broken plow point than they did actually plowing. On the way to his home, Wayne showed me an 8 acre plot and a 5 acre plot he had just plowed under with his mules. The mules might be pulling the plow, but the driver has to work too. Considering what they usually do, our little job was a piece of cake.
Eleven beds (some 36 ft. long) may not seem like much, but I think we're going to have our hand's full when it comes time to do the weeding and harvesting!
