Unfortunately last link does not work but rest are Great links! Thank
you Newt! I like the idea to use lasagna beds. I have plenty tree leaves on the ground that I can use as compost for these beds. I think it will work. Genya Newt wrote: Hi Genya, The best way to build up your soil and improve the tilth (condition) is with organic material. You don't need to purchase topsoil. If you add finished compost you don't have to wait to plant. Bagged compost would probably be less expensive then bagged top soil, and if you have a large area to cover you could purchase the compost in bulk to be delivered to you, which is even less expensive then bagged. If that isn't to your liking, you could do lasagna beds (also called sheet composting or interbay mulch) that should be ready by the time you are ready to put out your veggies. Basically is involves building a compost pile in layers where you want to plant. You don't even have to turn it into the soil, but could plant your transplants directly intoit. This should be helpful. http://tinyurl.com/22hp5 http://tinyurl.com/37rht For more info on improving your soil take a look here. http://tinyurl.com/69rfy http://tinyurl.com/5s8xh Newt -- Newt ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
