Republic Waste Services probably didn't think I knew what I was asking when I said, "Bring me as much compost as you can...we can use as much as you can bring!!" Well, they brought us a LOT of compost...and it was PERFECT!!! Look what happened two days later when we got the word out that there would be a work party on Saturday morning . . .
. . .People started arriving at 9:00 with their shovels and wheelbarrows, and some even arrived IN their wheelbarrow!! Helpers came in all sizes and ages, and everyone worked together!! We got 18 50' long beds composted and smoothed out, and we still have enough compost for the other 6 beds, and to see us through the summer...hopefully!!!
We love using this annual "winter thaw" that only lasts about 2 weeks before getting cold again! It's a perfect time to get our early crops of peas, beets, lettuce and spinach in. And with all of this help it didn't take long at all!!
What a great turnout!!! Many hands, and wheelbarrows, make short work!!!
WHAT AN AWESOME WORK CREW!!
And it's a wrap...in just one hour!!
