Time out: 4pm
More rows of citrus have been planted which frames the front area of the Ranch quite nicely. This row will continue much further, but for now I was assigned to build a burm for these trees. This task had 3 steps:
Step 1) After digging the holes for the citrus trees (which also included surrounding the trees with an underground cage to prevent gophers from root chewing), I filled in the area in between the trees with an even level of dirt.
Step 2) I then covered the dirt with about 1 1/2 inches of compost and watered it in.
Step 3) I covered the compost with a layer of mulch and watered that in.
Last week, we tilled in a very thick layer of compost into the vegetable beds. This week, I am happy to see that several our tomato seedlings have been planted into the ground!
