DigDug

Dug the second of the three beds. That's two of the three done, the third has cauliflower plants in it (one less as one of the green cauliflowers was had for dinner). Once the cauliflowers are all eaten the third bed will get a good work over as it wasn't dug through last year.

Went to nichols to get some compost. Purchased 10 bags of "Organic Compost". One bag per square meter was put onto the bed that was just dug over. Also used 100g per square meter of lime and 50g per meter of Nitrophospha Blue.

The three bed sizes are: 4.5sqm, 3.6sqm, and 4.7sqm.

Also planted some herbs, Coriander, LemonGrass, and Thyme.

State of the Onions

The tree onions appear to be doing well. The chives died down and have re-emerged from the soil. The garlic is showing no signes of anything!
