Second year RB/SFG core sample

This yearÂs core sample was taken adjacent to last yearÂs sample. There was only about an inch of recognizable compost on top and it spilled out onto the floor when I tilted the tube to remove the sample. When I removed the sample, it just fell apart. The bed is about 88% full of what looks like plain old garden soil thanks to the many worms. At the end of next growing season I expect the beds to be nearly 100% filled with soil/worm casing. Then it will be interesting how the moisture retention will be and how the plants perform.

This is a photo of semi-finished compost that the beds were top dressed with this spring. As usual all comments are welcome. John
