Gardening is not a topic we generally discuss, but today we wanted to cover it because we’re very excited about taking the first steps in growing our own organic food! We moved to our off grid property just eight months ago and while we haven’t yet built our home, we’re excited to get started on the garden!

Although we’re not very knowledgeable about gardening, we’re confident that one of the first steps to the process is amending our soil to ensure that plants and veggies have a fighting chance at survival once planted. In short, our soil contains a lot of clay, rock, and is extremely compacted. Awesome, right? But we love a challenge!

In the past few weeks, we’ve taken a few different steps to starting the soil amending process and thought we’d invite you to come along for the ride. Watch this video to see the different things we’re doing in hopes of having a great growing season this year!
