[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 593459, member: 84"] The garden plot has been expanded 4 times it's original size. I did half of it..........then had 3 adult helpers with the 2nd half. Good thing as by that point my muscles were rebelling. Not sore.....but refusing to cooperate strength wise. sister in law brought the dirt............which turned out to be clay (because it didn't occur to him when digging a hole top soil is going to be on the bottom of the pile of dirt) We were exhausted after 2 truck loads......and decided that was going to half to do it as none of us were moving well at that point. I'll till the clay with the dirt that was there along with some manure and it will be fine. I'm going to rent a gas tiller..........clay is a major *itch to do with a manual tiller the first time around. Umm, I'll do that once I can move my computer mouse with no effort and pick up my coffee mug without fear of dropping it. omg :rofl: Evidently 9-10 hrs (I started nearly 3 hrs prior to anyone arriving) of hard manual labor......digging, tilling, shoveling heavy wet clay dirt..........is enough for my muscles to tell me to go stick it they're not doing anymore work for a few days. LOL Works out it's raining, so I couldn't do that type of work at the moment anyway. [/QUOTE]
