Default Re: The best thing you can do for your garden!

It takes years to get good soil when it starts out being junk. Mikes garden soil is clay so this was first year. I threw in what was available. Bags of peat, pine needles, some leaves, horse poop, & soon to get (finally) bags of grass clippings from his neighbors. Next year will be better.
You have a good head start on me Bob. I s'pose I could go to my lakefront & bag up some mossy seaweed if it's still there. Wonder what the diff would be other than no salt(?)
Forgot to say that my garden is so much better than Mike's. I have been composting for years...lots of grass clippings, composted manure, & stuff from my compost.
