Put partially decayed wood mulch on garden -- Nitrogen?
I've put a quantity of partially decayed wood mulch into my garden
this Spring and now understand this may cause a shortage of nitrogen in the soil. If so what might be the most reasonable corrective action I could take? Thanks. |

A high nitrogen fertilizer to compensate - blood, feather or fish meal or bat guano are all good, organic choices. pam - gardengal |

Only briefly, and then the nitrogen gets releasaed again. If so what might be the most reasonable corrective action I could take? Have you seen signs that the plants are not thriving? No, nothing is planted yet. Still have frost hazard here. |
