Fresh Grilled Veggies & Flowers





Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner. Your "Brew it Fresh" 100% natural pure manure tea's , harvested, sun dried, Eco hand packaged for the Container, Patio and Small Home Gardener. A chance meeting with a couple at a big box garden center, Owner and Woman Rancher, Annie Haven, invited the couple to her Southern California Ranch for an introduction to the Art of Brewing Manure Tea.


As the conversation evolved, the couple asked if they could invite members of their garden club to join in (about 15 members) Haven, was happy to accommodate their request under one condition. Everyone that wanted to attend would need to bring something from their garden or something made from their garden.


The picture above shows Haven, reviewing her demonstration table set up. Harvested Manure on right, tea brewing on left and to the far left Roses, Iris with Wisteria vine Greenery. All from Haven's ranch gardens.


Sunday here, the gardeners arrive at the ranch, all carring fresh veggies, flowers, home pressed olive oil and yes, wine!


After the demonstration on the Art of brewing manure tea, it's natural health benefits for the soil and plants root system.


Tables were set and decorated with fresh flowers. The BBQ was fired up, fresh veggies sliced grilled, drizzled in olive oil were enjoyed by all who attended. As we sipped local wine, we enjoyed sharing gardening stories, tips and tricks.


This impromptu, gathering of gardeners was such a success Haven, has had a total of 10 more requests to join in this coming Sunday's class!


Haven, says I can't think of a better way to share the Art of Brewing Manure Tea. It is so good for your soil, plant root system. Another little known secret of Manure Tea. Brew it up and pour it into your organic compost. Yes, that's right, just as manure tea naturally breaks down the soil, manure tea will speed the break down of your organic compost. It's all natural which is what is so wonderful about it!


Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner tea's are harvested fresh, sun dried, Eco hand packaged here at my Southern California Ranch, from Haven raised grass fed livestock Only!

Raised Wood Garden Beds


Well, we do just a few things here at the ranch. Raise grass fed livestock, harvest, sun dry, hand package "Eco-friendly" premium soil conditioner, for the Container, Patio and Small Home gardener. Train horses, rope, fix fence, mow pastures, plant native color gardens and now building Raised Wood Garden Beds!
With 800 board feet of fence to replace, the old Redwood makes for outstanding Raised Wood Garden Beds. So that's what's been going on here this past few days.
No blue prints or plans needed. Becky, fellow horseman drove off the hill from her ranch to join me in the art of laughter, wail playing with power tools. Here's a picture of the first Raised Wood Garden Beds 2' W X 6'L X 11" H we assembled from scrap Redwood fence. The first one took us 1 1/2 hours, the second came in at just under 1 hour. Not bad, I'd say for two Ranch Women turned instant carpenters.
What's Needed:
Lumber of choice (I would suggest for your first Raised Garden Bed, finished size 2' W X 6'L X 11" H)
Lumber List
4- 2" X 6" X 8' Redwood, Pine or Douglas Fir (No treated Lumber) cut 2' off for ends
1- 1" X 2' X 6' Redwood or Pine, this is for the suppot braces for the inside of the bed cut into 10" pieces.
Tools List:
Table Saw, Skill Saw, or Jigg Saw
Drill W/Drill Bit and Philips or Square Screw Head (two drills works best) Not needed if you use nails.
3" and 2" Deck Screws (square heads are best) or 3" and 2" Galvanized Nails your choice
T-square
Tape measure
Safety Glasses
Gloves
Marking Pencil
Hammer
Wood Clamp
Note: Also 1 husband, wife or real good friend, willing to lend a hand and make you laugh.
Building Raised Wood Garden Beds is easy and should be a fun project!
Once you have finished the Raised Wood Garden Bed, fill with good clean organic soil. Brew it Fresh, a large batch of Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner tea and water in well. Allow to set for a day or to so the soil will settle (you may want to add more soil). Now plant you seeds, veggie starters or plants and water them in good again, with another batch of Brew it Fresh, Authentic Haven Brand Natural Brew, premium soil conditioner tea. Sit back sip some Mint tea and admire your work!
