We're excited about expanding the garden at Christian Assembly. The entire back half of the property will be used for gardening this year. The first step is to get as much grass and roots as possible off the gardening area. We called in a friend with a Bobcat and he spent several hours removing grass, taking out rocks, replacing rocky soil with better soil and regrading the area. Removing the grass always seems like one of the most difficult tasks. The plan at this point is to remove all the grass, bring in a tractor to plow as deep as possible and add as much topsoil and compost as we can afford. The garden will be a work in progress for a number of years, but a number of folks are investing their time, energy and money into this site.
We've got leaves and grass clippings we are collecting on the back parking lot for composting. Through out the year we will add to this in hopes of rebuilding the original soil and adding the soil back to the garden.
