I did get a quarter inch last week. Didn’t do much for soaking the hoog though.  |

I broke down and watered the hoog. Put forward the effort to get down deep and slow. Drilled a couple pin holes in the bucket and put about 30 gallons thru it.  The jumbo squash has perked up and is growing quickly.  Got a new flower I’ve never seen before: Hempnettle?  |

Seems like where there's a thick stand of daisey, the soil has gone to shit. And that wild parsnip I suppose. |

Finally got it built. Dug it down a foot, and back filled with layers of sod, rotted oak, dry poplar, and topsoil from my sod pile. Spread rye across the top with some grass to hold it all together. I emptied it last weekend.  My fall salad greens are started.  Got some WGF coming too. There’s a ton of seed on top of this that May germinate now.  The jumbo squash is coming on with a vengeance now.  |

I think the jumbo squash might make it. It’s doubling in size every few days, and flowers are setting. The potatoes really canopied since they were watered and rained in.  There’s fungus among us. I expect this to go into overdrive now.  I planted spring wheat in the hoog the same time I planted it in my plots. It’s 6” already. High hopes this can replace oats for fall tonnage. I haven’t look at the new plot too closely yet. Tomorrow.  |

What is the purpose of your Hoog? Do you use it as a test site for new chit? Who is Skoog? Why am asking questions? You ruined a perfectly good sit and shit bucket by drilling holes in it?  |

I don’t know who Skoog is. It’s a test garden for high output, permanent fertility, drought resilience, and very low maintenance. I eat a lot of veggies, and I’d like some fresh ones. I’m getting ready to build a big one this winter. |

Veggies look great! Amazed you can put down wood chips, that would blow all over the place down here. Bigger? How much bigger? Do you pull weeds or are your hoogs self serving in that manner?

Not going bigger. I had grass punching through pretty bad. I think I unintentionally made about 2 yards of ramial wood chips.  Then I got excited about having two yards of charged and race ready hoog chips, and pulled it all out for the Delta Hoog coming in 2022. Hoping to also get a fresh carbon choke on those breakthrough grasses with the fresh mulch. |

The pink jumbo squash decided to throw a couple fruits. I don’t think there’s time left to make their full potential, but they’re trying.  |
