Aug 14 work day successful

August 14 was a good day because we got a lot done, but yet a little bit sad because we it was our last day working with "bobcat" Toby.  We placed the arbor, made some raised beds, sheet-mulched the area to be the first guild, and made a spiral herb garden.  You may notice areas with straw.  That is temporary.  Those areas will be paths covered with mulch but we needed a place holder for the sheet mulching and it was available.  We are working on getting a sustainable water source (like the pond or rainwater catchment with a pipe going to the area in need of water) to water the guilds.  Hopefully we get something figured out soon so that we can plant some tress before winter because fall and spring are the best times to plant trees.  If anyone has ideas or know-how to get a watering system please let us know.  I will post in permaculture in action about spiral herb gardens and guilds in the coming weeks.  Thanks to Toby one more time.  He says he will come back to help this fall if we organize a Saturday workday.  Any takers?
