Wow, sounds like a ton of work, but your plants will definitely thank you for it since you have some great soil now! The cacti bed looks nice already, imagine how nice it will look once everything grows and gets big! I cant wait to see how tropical things look in the summers to come! You have gotten a ton of stuff done already!

Good luck!

That d-garden will keep the postman honest!

I don't have great soil yet. My delivery of compost today was cancelled because they ran out of it over the weekend. Getting it tomorrow hopefully. Once I get that tilled in then I can start planting. I actually thought I was doing the mailman a favor. I've always heard not to plant things that attract bees next to the mailbox.

Everything is looking great! After your last house, I can't wait to see this one finished!

Good progress. I would also add peatmoss to the tropical beds. I always add peatmoss to my tropical beds because it retains moisture.

I used to add peat moss, but it is cost prohibitive when done on a large scale. The mushroom manure accomplishes pretty much the same thing except that it also adds nutrients. Peat moss is sterile and is good for tilth, but my soil isn't as bad as I thought. The manure will hopefully work fine.
