Hi guys,
I posted earlier about my garden, which went in way too late this spring.
anyways, I was wondering, how can I really blast the soil and build it up for
next season?
I have an endless supply of cattle bedding and horse bedding, some good
machines, some other stuff (aged wood chips, grass clippings).
at the end of my dismal growing season (too much rain, not enough sun), should
I just spread as much "stuff" on there as possible, till it under, and let it
mellow out for the winter? I was thinking that even if the material is too
"hot" it would certainly cool off after a couple of months in the ground.
I know I'm being impatient, but would like to really crank my soil up for next
spring.
thanks
john
Probably the first thing to do is decide where you are going to plant
you garden. Then get the soil tested. Next figure what you want to
plant and what kind of soil and exposure it wants. Determine what you
need to do to get the soil to the proper condition. Check your
library for some gardening books.
