RE: Five ways to make compost and build soil
@pennsif really informative well written article. I have come to believe our soil here is not good for growing much except for things that do well in acidic soil types. You do have large raised beds, would take several yards of purchased soil, quite costly. New potatoes grown in rotting leaf beds sounds great, did you do anything additional?🐓
Yes our soil is very poor, which is why I am having to spend so much effort on creating the new soil in the raised beds. But it is definitely worth it. Each year as the soil improves so we are getting ever better crop yields.
Would wood ash help balance your acidic soil?
With the potatoes in the leaves I didn't add anything - I just let nature do its thing.
