Soil amending

Two weeks to go until the lavender seedlings arrive. We are still busy amending the soil with manure and lime but the progress is impressive. Tate Penda you are my hero! Such commitment and devotion, hard to find, it's like living the African dream.

Lavender Planter

This is our "new" lavender planter

Preparing the ground for planting lavender

After de-bushing we found out that the ground is too rocky for planting , huge boulders under the surface. We had to get a bulldozer to do the earth work needed, rip the ground , remove the rocks and level out.

And this is how the field looks now. We still have to manually remove some rocks and improve the ground before the irrigation will be set up but for now it looks good to me.
