The Biointensive
The Double Dug Bed that will forever have a puddle of my sweat in it.
Here we are not double digging... just weeding
Ok even if I had a picture of me during the process of preparing the bed for the biointensive garden there is no way I would post it. Basically the biointensive garden is designed to produce as much food as possible in the least amount of space. To do this all the beds are dug out twice as deep as normal so the roots are able to go down instead of out. This makes it possible to plant crops closer together. I was really excited to get the opportunity to learn about the double digging because I think its something that can be applied at home pretty easily. However... wow it is REALLY hard work. I mean worth it BUT really tiring. I had three or four constant streams of sweat flowing down my face--of course the humidity wasn't working in my favor.
I have a question. Are there monkeys in Costa Rica? Isn't that where Robert and Ramona went on their honeymoon and saw monkeys, and they stole towels off the beach if you didn't watch out for them? Or is that just a beach thing? If you see any, can I make a special request for some photographs?
ReplyDeleteyou can make a special request, but I'm not making any promises.
ReplyDeletebecause they eat people for dinner...eek!
ReplyDeleteSounds like lots of work! I think I was trying that too this weekend, but all I found was concrete waste.....not so much fun...I am moving to Costa Rica...next week.
