anyways, I was wondering, how can I really blast the soil and build it up for
next season?
Green manure...crimson clover, or (if you're a brave soul) crown vetch
Beans are also a good crop to attempt.
I have an endless supply of cattle bedding and horse bedding, some good
machines, some other stuff (aged wood chips, grass clippings).
The more the merrier, throw it everywhere, mix it in if you can.
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.
It's been very nasty these past two months. I should've grown LOWbush
cranberries instead of HIGHbush ;P Luckily the tomatoes love the
rain, hopefully some will come when they are finally setting fruit.
