Okay, Update on the new Ginseng garden going in
It's going to be about just shy of 8 acres, took us this long to get this far with only two people working. It just me and my Partner working
I last left you guys when we got hit the mild tornado and it ripped apart the gardens. You guys remember that.
This year we are using all use post to save on money. So we have to dip and soak them formaldehyde type solution. Not a fun job, had to do this to 3000-4000 post.
Then we drag the field to removed rocks and more rocks and more rocks
The next thing we did was take old post and make anchors out them and wrapped them with 1/4 inch steel cable.
Then went out into the field the old fashion way with tape measures and squared up the garden, believe it or not that's a pain in the ass on a windy day in the mud. We had wait for the sulfur fumigation company to come out and treat the field. (At about $800.00 USA an acre and we are planting almost 8 acres)
Then we after a week, we can go back into the field and that when can mark out the where to put the post. Then we pound the post into the gound
Now here is the part where at today
We dug holes with a backhoe. Then put then put them anchors we made earlier this spring. Now it's time to put them into the holes we just dug and bury them but to make sure we leave the cable sticking out
Then we take that anchor cable that is sticking out of the ground and attached it to the hardware thats in the post. Like shown in photos
There that is all for now. Everyone is all caught up. I post more photos when more gets done
