We arrived this morning to find a very large load of olive tree branches that had been delivered the day before. Some went in the compost pile and the rest will be torn into smaller pieces for mulch. From the viewpoint of a lap full of leaves while facing the pile, it is looking like a very time consuming task.
The exciting part of the day came when we dug a hole to
plant something from the terrace of the kasbah house. We found
the first earthworm! This is as exciting as finding that
mushroom-these are both signs that we are indeed
improving the soil at the garden home, bit by bit.
We discovered that some of the plants in this zeitoun bed were getting burned by the sun so we gathered small old, degraded pieces of bamboo fencing and made a shade structure. Not the most attractive thing we have ever done here, but it is functional.
