The Preparation

May 10, 2008.

With our garden plot staked out, it was time to remove the established sod. Luckily, one of our church members and his son showed up with a power sod cutter and a front-end loader. The garden was laid out over a 40' x 50' (2,000 square foot) area, so we had a lot of sod to remove. Fortunately, with the help of the power equipment, this big job was made significantly easier. After a couple of hours of cutting, rolling, lifting and moving the heavy rolls of sod, the job was done -- the garden plot was cleared! So what did we do with the sod that we removed? Through our community's on-line Freecycle network, we were able to "gift" a good amount of it to someone in our area in need.

God is good - All the time!
