My idea was to create swales to generate soil to use to create an accompanying berm on which to plant. (ie like "pit and mound"). When the pond was dug, all the dirt was piled along the eastern edge of the property and created a laneway that is some 2 ft above grade. It is well drained and growth is lush compared to soil on natural grade. I thought to recreate this throughout the field for planting in a way that doesn't require purchasing soil. The swales would be like that marsh the municipality has created by cleaning the ditch and making a berm with the material cleaned out of the ditch. Your straw bale garden would be great on top of the berms. The way the land is now, it would be impossible to grow food crops other than elderberry, wild wetland flowers for honey, cattail etc. The soil is just too wet and unworkable. I would like to keep the water on the land to have those wetland places. All the native plants are right there. I think I just have to take the plunge and try one swale and one berm to see what happens. Your recipe for a straw bale garden on top of the new berm would be just the ticket to condition that clay.

I would suggest you search the internet and contact professional worm farms. They may be able to help give you estimates, as they do this on a large scale themselves. They could also help with advice on systems, where to obtain supplies, and could also supply you with worms. Hope this helps.

Mine arrived yesterday. Love the prints, the fit and quality looks good. Mine are either silk with cotton lining (filter insert pocket) or a silk spandex blend with cotton lining. Out of five patterns, there is one that looks 'Hawaiian' DH could wear without feeling silly. Although he has olson style and pleated already. And this week he saw an ad for Tommie Copper adjustable ear strap 'antibacterial property' masks. He's a Tommie Copper fan and wears one of the compression sleeves often on his arthritic knee - he's convinced it helps and for the price I have no reason to argue with him ;0). He asked me to order the Tommie Copper masks for him, reasoning we may be wearing them at least occasionally the next several months, and I've done that. I've rec'd a notice of shipped and a USPS tracking number just today so I can't speak to their quality. Plain black, no choices there.
