Stonybrook Garden 2012

The 2012 edition of the Hy-Vee Garden at Stonybrook has brought significant changes to the soil and the layout of the garden. Last fall Stonybrook Hy-Vee Store Director Ginny Ward approved the purchase of 150 cubic yards of Oma-Gro compost. Over a three day period in October the compost was delivered, moved into the garden beds and tilled into the soil to rest for the winter. Oma-Gro compost can be hot when freshly delivered as ours was and needed time to cool down before planting this spring. Another special thank you to Matt Novak and his team at Diamond Cut Lawns for donating the front-end loader we needed to till the soil and move the compost. Look for more postings today and in the coming months and don't forget to follow the garden. Thank you!
