Peat Moss Substitute?
"KK" wrote in message ...
Mixed with the clay soil it almost turns it "brick" hard. I put close to a pickup load on a 30x20 foot area and it became really hard for the rest of that year. The following year it didn't seem as bad but still pretty hard. I added more sawdust that year and it got hard again so I quit using the sawdust. To some extent I noticed a similar action with leaves (not shredded) tilled in but the peat really tends to do the trick. This fall I may work 5 0r 6 of the larger bundles of peat in but the reason for the post was to find something a little cheaper. About 10 or 20 more pickup loads and you will be on the right track. Manure, grass clippings , leaves and leaf mold, municipal compost, mushroom compost, woodchips, whatever is free and local is best, free local and delivered is even better! |
