I have found, via craigslist , a citizen of Eugene who happens to be re-modeling their entire
yard... putting a pool and a shop in, from the looks of it. They
are constantly dumping large amounts of soil out, curbside, and so I,
being the ever-resourceful homesteader, am promptly taking it home!
Packing my square nose shovel with me to work, and collecting huge
amounts of cardboard from my work to line my station wagon bed with,
I am moving somewhere near 1 full cubic yard of topsoil
every day. Our new raised bed will be filled with a mixture of this
dirt, chicken manure, Llama compost tea, and our hot compost. Expect
a blog on this mixture, as well as a vlog about the tea and our hot
compost on our YouTube channel in the near future. Speaking of our YouTube channel, I am
currently on a terribly distressing hunt for my vlog cam that I had
previously used for so many of my videos. Where did I put that
thing???? Any body know a cheap mini HD cam? Like,.. no $ down,
no $ monthly, and no $ at all.... ;) Anyways, here's the first of
three new intros that will be precluding all our new videos. Another load of dirt tomorrow should put us at nearly 3 cubic yards. YEAH DIRT!
