Compost pile has been turned three times; heat levels on the third turn have been 131 - 136 over the last 4 days. The pile is already showing signs of fungi production. Tomorrow I will turn one last time mainly to stake off to the side for the curing process. Tomorrow I plan to build another fresh pile to keep the compost moving coming into the spring. I have a couple cured pile from last year that I will use during planting, and the the fresh compost I making now will become a top dressing once the plants are about 12" tall. Then once the plants are top dressed, I will bring in fresh hardwood mulch for the top banket allowing fungi networks to supply plants through the hot summer.
The lettuce is coming in well and carrots are finally sprouting although not in my pretty rows; I have some puppies that wanted to help before I shewed them away. Sugar snap peas are starting to find the ropes I hung for them to climb and the spinach is growing well.
Planted a couple small rows of daikon radishes to promote microbe food.
Worked on my irrigation adding a pump into the rain barrel system so I would have pressure no matter how full the barrel is...
