Post-Planting Review and Pest Control

What happens here

After planting, ensure the soil is powdery and free of large dirt clods. If using a plow and disc, disc it up really well. If using a rototiller, run over the plot multiple times to achieve fine soil. The presenter mentions applying 6 tons of manure and wood chips to this garden, contributing to its fertility. To protect the newly planted garden from pests like deer, crows, and wild turkeys, installing a deer fence and a scarecrow is recommended. The scarecrow should be moved regularly to prevent animals from getting used to its presence. The entire garden plot (approximately 150x50 feet) is expected to yield enough corn and beans to feed a family for two to three years, costing only about $35 in seeds.

Goal: Ensure optimal conditions for seed germination and protect the garden from pests.
