I am new here and am excited to learn from like minded individuals such as yourselves 😎. We just built the garden enclosure (absolutely necessary..DEER👀) and it about killed us ☠️ but now we need to learn about what goes in it lol. We put down sticks and leaves and a friend gave us a truck load of year old horse manure (blessing!), and topped it off with soil and our compost that we have from our kitchen scraps. We have cattle fence panels to arch in between the beds to grow climbers on. I have a trellis (not pictured yet) to grow a grape vine on and a couple raised beds for strawberries. Don’t know what we’re doing yet but looking forward to learning. 👩🏻‍🌾
