January Ground Work

With 7 inches of snow on the ground, it was a perfect day for tilling inside the high tunnels. Many of our winter crops are slowly losing quality and we are getting ready to start planting this years crops, so it was clean up time. Since everything was cleaned out, why not till up the seed beds and prep them for planting. We still need to add some compost, sulfur (helps lower the pH) and some fertilizer (if necessary). One light tilling and we will start planting around February 1st.
