Is there anything better than Blood and Bone?

:-)) I don't limit myself. I use cow poop, horse poop, blood and bone, pelleted chook poop, bagged cow poop, seasol, 'Sudden Impact for Roses', Blood and bone with added sulphate of potash, compost, rotted leaves and anything else that comes to hand including elephant poop which grew the best corn we've had yet. I also use fire ash and dolomite, rice hulls, lucern chaff, hay and lucerne straw. How much does all this cost each year? In the last five years, "chicken manure" (floorscrappings from chicken raising sheds) has doubled in price. This all sounds very expensive. I have a big garden on poor soil which is finally starting to improve and I feed it by direct fertilising, by mulching and with scavenging. Works, but can take a few years to start getting decent crops. |
