So today was the day to start moving the compost pile into the garden so that we can get the ground ready for planting. The compost pile by the barn has been building and working since last summer and should be exactly what our garden needs to get a great start.
The compost pile ready for the garden... Just gotta find an easy way to get it there.
Last year I just drove the front loader back and forth a bucket at a time, but it takes hours to move the entire pile. There has to be a better way!
The Garden Area
The garden waiting for compost and tilling
So I had a bright idea... instead of making a hundred trips back and forth, why not just load the flatbed trailer, drag it into the garden, and throw the compost around. Seems to make sense right? Well, the first step went fine... loaded the trailer high with compost only took a few minutes.
BUT is there a problem?
Maybe I should have measured the gate! It would seem that the trailer is a foot or so wider than the garden gate!
This is just embarrassing!
Oh well, perhaps tomorrow will bring a new idea as well as a new day.
