Decided today to add to my planter area so I can get some more seeds in the ground. Used the 1311 to cut the grass on the perimeter of the player footprint, to make it easier to remove it with a pick axe.

Here's where they are going

Here's my first section, potatoes, beets, purple orach, tomatoes and corn

Here there are Brussel sprouts and a dragon fruit vine

Who would have thought, a garden tool

Chopped along the perimeter

Done

Went through several rocks ( there is only an inch or two of dirt, then mostly rock) no real damage whatsoever

Random wire in the way, not for long!

After a lot of pick axe and shoveling, got them in and level.

And good job on the garden.

I didn't realize the soil would be that shallow down there Jared. No wonder you are working with raised plots.
