Amending our soil
October 6, 2016
Our soil on the farm has high Ph and low acid so we mulch our garden beds with pine needles which are naturally acid. The pine needles keep moisture in and helps keep the garden beds warm during the winter as well as amend the beds with acid. We planted about 200 pine trees the first year we moved here as our farm was raw land until we bought it and developed our farm and I remember hand watering all those trees for the first year thinking I moved to hell as it was so hot, being a Califonian born and raised we had no idea of the extreme temperatures the high desert had.
