Garden II

This how it looked before I started. The roof line is along the left side, and the slope comes from the wall. Peter told me to change the direction of the garden by 180 degrees. Note the sack garden with onions.

After Day 1, basically tearing up some sod.

Day 2, moving dirt from right to left to try to level it. The roof line goes out just past the concrete

Day 3, beds, pathways, and corner holes taking shape. I’m using a hoe for everything, just like in the village.

The rains stalemated me a bit, and then I brought in Matthews who dug the crap out of the two beds and mixed in two bags of manure. It took him 15 minutes to do what I was calculating was a 2-3 hour chore

We planted cabbage, carrots and kale seeds. In training our planting day was rained out and Peter had to go to Rwanda, so I had to rely on Matthews. We didn’t do everything totally by the “book” and I might dig another one next season.

This is how it looked today a few days after planting. I have put grass clippings on it to protect from pounding rain. Sort of looks like burial plots šŸ™‚

I leave tomorrow for two weeks in Entebbe to re-unite with my class for In-Service Training. The second week, we will be joined by our counterparts. Some PCVs do not have access to garden space. My PC supervisor Meital, liked the sack gardens and this elevated bed garden of cabbage at my office and recruited Matthews to teach the PCVs how to make them.

Training in permagarden construction seems so long ago, but our teacher Peter gave us an excellent guide book when he left. I dug my own permagarden with Matthews during the past two weeks. It’s right in front of our office. Things were not so simple, however. I dug it to catch water off the roof, but the natural slope is not away from the roof. Much of my effort went toward trying to change the slope, not an easy chore. At best I made it level. I was sending pictures to Peter and getting his advice. Matthews came through like the calvary. These pictures will take you through the process.
