This is meant to document our trials and tribulations while transforming our .19 acres of land in suburban Oklahoma in to something more sustainable.

planting time!
We've decided to rework our garden beds some in order to make room for a 6 X 8 greenhouse. We love growing our own organic potatoes so Gabe dismantled one long bed to construct a two tiered potato bed (in the distance).
Gabe attended a permaculture workshop in OKC about a month ago where he learned the 'lasagna method' of gardening. We've read about it before, but have yet to put it in to practice...until now.
start with a solid layer of plain cardboard and wet it down. add greens, then browns, alternating and topping with soil.
We did the same method using straw-bales for the sides of our strawberry and lettuce bed.
