Here goes 2016! And no, we're not down by the San Fran bay... we're just off of a Bay on Lake Michigan in 'da woods, eh?
Figured since dirt started showing up, my new thread should too. Most my amendments are here, containers on order, two more greenhouses, a pole barn, and almost 1/3rd mile of 8' deer/orchard fence.
Excavator was hired for removing about 500-1000 yards of dirt in our way and the bulldozer will grade it all off nice and pretty like, we dropped a tree that'll cast a shadow till noon (I was sad to cut it up).
Klasman Peat showed up for $18/bale, can't get promix for that and it's a high quality peat! The rest of the amendments are there in a pile too. Turns out, the new green needs some rear weight to handle 2600lb loader lifts
My amendment list this year includes...(250 gallon pots with 100 gallons of last year's Roots Organic mix for bottom of my holes fill)
So 150 gallons of "new" dirt this year per hole. I picked 250's cause at 55" diameter one sheet of remesh should wrap right around it perfectly.
13 pallets of peat (25/pallet, 4cu ft bags)
120 50lb bags of worm castings
16 7cu ft bundles of rice hulls
Feather Meal
Bone Meal (LOTS!)
Blood Meal
AlfAlfa Meal
Crab Shell Meal
Oyster Shells
Humic
BioChar
Composted Manure
Harmony (chicken shit fertilizer)
Greensand
Bat guano
Gypsum
Lime
Azomite
Potassium KmS soluble
Kelp
Brown phosphate
Boron
Strains include:

Swamp Boys First 48
DNA Strawberry Fields
DNA Clementine
Barney's Farm Blue Cheese
Barney's Farm Cookies Kush
Bodhi Jabba's Stash
Bodhi Love Triangle

HSO Blueberry Headband
HSO Amherst Sour Diesel
HSO Desert Diesel
HSO Saphire OG

We'll be an organic grow: using tea's, bokashi, top dressings, etc. We're also getting a well this year! No more hauling water for me!
On top of all this, we're adding 24 fruit trees, 100 fruit bushes, and we got a plastic mulch layer to keep the garden free of weeds!
I'm a one-man sho, this year I'll have a few hired guys for construction but the grow is all me.
So, STAY TUNED! Lots to come!
