Garden prep
We bought a house with a garden. Irrigation system in, but I will be making
some changes. The soil locally is blow sand from red sandstone. A friend of mine gave me a big tiller for doing some work to help him clean up after a fire. I got it all cleaned up and put new gas in it, and it fired right up. So, I took it on a couple of rows of the garden. The soil is light and fluffy and not rocky as the adjoining soil. Apparently the previous owners had put a lot of organic material in there. It's really nice looking soil. Is there some simple tests that I can do to see what's sand and what isn't? Say, put some in a bucket and see how much floats vs. how much sinks? Should I go buy some garden soil (I already have five big bags) and till that in, too? Should I till in some general fertilizer for the whole garden? What would be some good things to do now that I have a blank palette, and don't have to redo what someone else has done? Steve |
