I really appreciated your thoughts on the garden layout. I ended up going with the raised bed design you suggested and it worked out great. The soil mixture you recommended seems to be draining properly and the seedlings are already showing new growth. I had to adjust the sunlight exposure a bit because the corner of the yard gets more afternoon shade than I expected. Next season I will probably rotate the crops like you mentioned. Let me know if you want to come by and see it sometime. I think you would enjoy the setup we ended up with. Also the tool shed organization tip was a lifesaver.

The compost bin is almost ready to turn and I am excited to see how the first batch comes out. Your advice on layering browns and greens made a big difference.

I finally watched that documentary you mentioned last week and I have to say it was really well done. The cinematography alone made it worth the time but the storytelling was what really hooked me. I had no idea about the history behind the conservation efforts and how much work went into restoring the habitat. It made me want to plan a trip out there next spring. Have you been? If so I would love to hear your recommendations on where to stay and what to bring. Also I started reading the book you lent me and I am already halfway through. The writing style is so engaging and the characters feel incredibly real. Thanks again for the suggestion. I will have it back to you by next weekend hopefully. The chapters on the coastal ecology were my favorite part so far. Let me know what you thought of the ending when you get a chance.
