Homeschooling the Key to Educational Reform??

It has been cool enough here at night to have a fire, but I have so much crap temporarily stored in the living room that I'm afraid of a fire. (It's stuff I moved out of the way so I could get the chest freezer moved out of the pantry.) I did clear a small path yesterday, but until I re-organize the pantry I'm just moving stuff from one pile to another!

I worked some yesterday starting on sheet composting a new growing area, higher up out of the flood zone. I got nearly 400 square feet partially covered, about a third of the area I want to do this fall. Next comes a layer of wood chips from last summer, and some amendments... then a layer of topsoil.
