Rather than growing in the rock and clay that makes up a lot of the "soil" here in the Ozarks, we opted to grow in raised beds. BY growing in raised beds, we can choose the growing medium in which our crops are planted. Over time, any nutrients and minerals in the growing medium can be depleted, so we like to continually add to our raised beds.
In this video, we add various organic material to the top of one of our raised beds. By adding rabbit manure, wood ash, and compost now, the bed will have all winter to absorb the nutrients and prepare to feed our plants when they wake up in the spring. For us, it's just part of trying to find a purpose for everything on our homestead, and to do things that make sense in the present to bless us in the future.
