Smile Re: 2009 veggie garden

My Veg garden(not raised) is about the same size. I would consider adding about 6 bags (240 lbs) of greensand. This is a mined from old sea beds and contains i believe about all the trace elements you could want. It only needs to be added about every 4 years , it's not water soluble. Richard could confirm this . I'd also recommend getting a soil test done by your cooperative extension done maybe next spring. That will be your soils real "report card". Then you'll get an idea if you need to lime etc. Good luck with it. Let's see some pics when you get it going.
