I have a small plot for my garden. Perhaps about 12' x 12'. I would
really
like to enrich the soil. Something that would hold moisture and give good
stability to my plants. What would be a good combination of soils to
enrich. I have just regular top soil in it now.
For free, you can never go wrong with piling up leaves and keeping them
damp. Stop by a Starbucks and ask for coffee grounds. They'll likely give
you a garbage bag full. Keep piling it on as you get it.
A few weeks before you plant in the Spring, you can get some 50 lb. bags
of alfalfa meal and/or dried molasses for cheap and work that in. Buck Moore
Feed & Supply, 5237 N Lamar is where I've bought in the past.
If money's not a problem, stop by The Natural Gardener and buy what they
recommend.
