Start of New Garden

Here's the first two tiers of the new garden site... it's up by the veggie power tower, so we tend to call this little meadow 'the oil field'. You can see a big pile of composted manure above the tiers, which is on top of boards and cardboard, killing the weeds so that it's easier to start the garden.

I had hoped to do a simple 'no till' technique, but then I realized the slope, and the need for gopher wire necessitates the whole tier process.
