Hi everybody!
I'm sorry I've dropped off the face of the earth during the past month! I wanted to write a short post to let you know what's been happening.
I haven't been posting lately because my summer internship at Roots officially ended in mid-August, and I've been crazy busy with classwork and marching band at MSU since then. I still stop out at the farm for a few minutes now and then when I can, which, unfortunately, is not very often. I'm having a great time back at school, but I miss being out at the farm! Our community garden plot has been producing a lot of food lately, which I have been harvesting when possible. I am still planning to do a yield comparison for the square foot boxes and traditional beds at the end of the season, so stay tuned for that! This is experiment is far from perfect and has many flaws, but it should still provide a rough comparison of the two methods. Maybe I can repeat the experiment sometime down the road and correct the problems I ran into this summer. I will also write a little qualitative comparison of the two methods that will include my opinion about which beds are easier to manage and advantages and disadvantages of each method, among other things.
Thank you for reading! Once again, please accept my apologies for not posting recently! I will continue to write when I can, so please keep checking in! Until next time!
