We received over 2 inches of rain yesterday and the weather forecast is calling for that much if not more tomorrow. So, I drove by Ace & picked up a back of winter rye and spread out on the lower terrace late this afternoon. Hopefully most of it will stay in place during the storms tomorrow.
Rye is an annual grass with roots that can extend several feet below the surface - just what we need to help break up the clay below the plow tip. With a little sunshine after tomorrow, the lower terrace should be bright green by this time next week.
We've talked a little more about adding red clover to the garden in other areas, so it may be worth our while to try and sow more of it in the smaller terraces below the concrete block plots (after we mix in a little of the compost to help feed the clover).
That's it for now -- hope to have bee pics posted in a few days. :o)
