DONKEY POOP + TOP SOIL (removed from around the barn) = amazing black composted dirt !!!
I made a new garden bed too today! As ya'll can see, I dont go for the high class look in my garden... i use whatever i have around to build with (meaning no $$$ is needed, no store has to be driven to).

I had some hay that got moisture in it, and was no good to feed to the animals... so i started using that for my paths I walk on, in between garden beds.

My dwarf fruit tree have survived! The pear, peach and cherry!

I remember when you began clearing the area. Girl, you do great work. So much survived the winter, a testament to your skills for the good soil insulated.
There's some good eatin' ahead from that garden!
Makes me itching to get started; we still have a bit of waiting yet, but we are playing in the dirt and moving the donkey and other poo around. Thanks for your inspiration!
