Hawken Farm: Monday and tuesday (pictures)

On Monday we put cardboard on all the paths in the garden. We added more cardboard than we originally had because it hadn't suppressed any of the grass and plants under them so that we can wood chip all the paths of the garden. This took long time because we had to pat down the cardboard. While liam and I were doing this, Stuart and Allie bought some new higher fencing for the chicken coup and also put in an gate which makes it much easier to get in and out of the fenced in area because before we would just have to step over the top of the fencing. In the afternoon, we put up the "Hawknet". We did this by zip tying  four 4 by 25 foot netting pieces together and then digging four 1 1/2 foot posts into the holes in the ground and then put the posts up and draped the netting over the top of the chicken coup and the four posts.

On tuesday, I spent the morning getting the seed label packets printed out so that we can begin selling them. At around 10 am, Mr Wilson and I took a trip to Carter Lumber in Chardon to pick up wood for my trellis bench entrance. We did not return to hawken until around 1 pm and then I ate lunch and began working on the trellis. I finished the frame for the trellis in the afternoon.
