Cleared the long neglected compost space yesterday. Found it extremely hard to garden and taking photos at the same time without getting dirt on my camera. Anyway here they go. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Up-close Finally, transplanted some pitiful seedlings that been scorched by hot dry weather and it was mulched with dried grass clippings(to buffer the heat of mid noon and/or retain moisture) And about the cheaper way to home test soil ph, how about planting both tomato and kale at the same spot of your garden and see which grows best? The two of them like very different soil ph if i recall correctly. Just for discussion.
