Total Time Before: 20 Hours
Total Time Spent: 5 Hours (Double Digging = Double Hours) 10 Hours after the end of the day
Total Time: 30 Hours
Actions Performed: Double Digging
Next Action: Unknown
How Am I Doing: I have completed my 30 hours! But that does not mean I will stop there. I will be back for more hours. Double digging was very intense. Double digging is a gardening technique used to increase soil drainage and aeration. It involves the loosening of two layers of soil, and the addition of organic matter. We had to dig 12 inches down first. Everyone had to double dig for their own garden bed. Then, once all the soil is dug out, we place the soil back where the trench was. After that, we placed a little compost on the top of the bed. Double digging was harder than I imagined. I now understand why we were rewarded double hours. Double digging is not an easy task.
