Chipping away at the to-do list

Over the weekend we finally got the pear tree out of it's hole and into a proper hole. No longer does it sit some 6 inches lower then it should. We also enlisted the help of my father-in-law to prune the tree in a traditional centeral leader.

All the beds but one are ready to have compost added and are ready to be tilled.

Still to do:


Fix drip irrigation sprinklers
I think a new sprinkler box and another sprinkler valve to isolate the garden is in order in addition to the low pressure adaptor
Get a flat nose shovel
Look into a compost shredder/grinder
add amendments to garden beds and till the soil
spray garden soil with copper soap to kill fungal pathogens
Fill hole to transplant pear tree, 15ft north of current location, with compost and mix with soil.
transplant and prune pear tree
move garden bed 6 20 ft south of current location where there would be more sun (or add one bed and use bed 6 only for shade tolerant veggies like tomatoes and cold weather crops)
plant tomatoes and other cold weather plants in wall-o-water's
install trellises on the beds
