First beds established

Abdul rototilled garden area, then Bruce established 5 4-foot wide by 20 foot long beds running east-west.  The soil was weeded and tilled to about 8 inches or so.  Prior to tilling we added 1 cu yd of compost from Cochrans ($27 per cu yd).  There was a great deal of rock in the soil.  Bruce and Mark picked stones from a few beds (southern end of garden), and capped three with another 1 cu yd of compost from Cochrans.
