How big is your gardening area? It's all raised beds, right?

Three areas for veggies, the fenced in area is about 50x50 feet for
canning, there are no raised beds here good soil. Another area is about
150x75 feet unfenced for corn and extra canning foods, six 4x24 raised beds
in this area. Soil is mostly clay and in bad shape here but getting better.
A kitchen garden box close to my back deck is about 4x12 feet is the salad
garden box. In the back fields about two acres of dent corn and three apple
trees.

Wow, is that the same as a Crescent Moon Spade? Is this for gardening or
varmints?

For gardening to create natural boards between the flower beds and the
lawn. unless I am missing something here about varmints? It is a half
circle cutting/trench tool for landscaping.

I got a book on
making ones own concrete garden ornaments and hypertufas.

reading list.

And then there a

I found the first one in the local library, which doesn't have the
second one. In "Making Bentwood Trellises", I copied the directions for
making a trellis, but haven't actualized it yet.
I have not yet made anything
from it yet. Does the formulas work? I wonder if the concrete holds up
during the cold winters? I wonder if I would be wasting my time and money
on this.

What? Is that because it is stainless steel or porcelain?
I am lost here?
You were writing about the cost of cheese making equipment devouring
your wallet.

What do you do if Bessy's baby is a bull? Any pot roasts in your future?
Then it would become a steer.
