RE: Update from Garden #2: Strong and Steady, but Still Small
Need to amend the soil this winter and mix some coco and other things to help loosen up the soil.
Also throwing a couple of fish in the bottom of the hole...
Good ideas, we would have to fill that whole garden with a thick layer of good compost, or do raised beds, both expensive options for next season, unlikely this farm will still be around then.
Amending or doing a seasoned hole is basically digging a hole then throwing a few fish in and mixing the soil with amendments. Then replacing them. Has nothing to do with a top dressing. Or a raised bed.
But hey what do I know?
We already did all that this year minus the fish, trust me that ground stays hard out there no matter what you do. One solution is to essentially replace the ground with different soil, not by digging it up, but by piling on top of what is already there.
