So the next step is soil. Rather than just buy some soil I decided to make my own mix. If my math is correct I need a little more than a cubic yard total:
I'm fortunate to have a loader for my small lawn and garden tractor (John Deere 425) so I just dumped everything in a pile and mixed it together by scooping and turning it over about a dozen times.
If the weather cooperates I'll be planting some seedlings I've already started and also installing fencing and my water scarecrow. I'll also get an update about my blueberries and raspberries.
