How much ground for this formula? I've got close to 2500 square feet in my garden. I have added at least 3 pallets of potting soil. It's been years trying to get my soil dark.
The only way I have used this particular recipe is with containers.
I am guessing it would make a great amendment/mulch layer to existing soil beds.
Pretty good combination ,on raised beds before we plant we spread bagged turkey poop on top of the beds, and planting tomatoes we use a little extra Epsom salts, grain chaser is pretty much spot on,, Warning if you use horse manure to till in, and the hay the horses ate was sprayed with grazion ( weed killer ) ,it will kill your garden
Karlv you live in a very sandy area , have it tested , I bet you need a lot of lime
Yup. Lots of sand and clay. Little dirt. I've been working on it. I think I'm getting close but I skipped a year.
Y’all keep in mind chicken manure is full of weed seeds a lot of the time, Llama manure is good to use and don’t go through a heat like other manure does, if you can find it
I put a garden in when we first moved to our home in 1997. Over the years it's had loads of leaves, countless truckloads of horse manure, and hundreds of pounds of catfish scraps, bones, shad added to it. You really can't overdo it with horse manure, and all the fish skeletons add calcium. If you bury the fish in when the ground is warm, they disappear quickly, and don't smell.
I buried a bunch in the winter one year, then turned them up with a tiller about a month later....not good lol.
I downsized my garden last year, since it's just me and the wife. Might be doing raised beds this year.

In for recipe for pesticide. I am not a green thumb,first year we planted the usual's and had a bumper crop. I did know it was fresh mushroom compost from previous owner. Fast forward next 5 years. Each year got worse, soil was used up I would guess. I always threw in 10 bags cow manure during tilling each year. I did notice the bugs would get worse each years and shade creeped in alot when the trees kept growing. Now garden is half shade. I am going to go to above ground garden and only plant the sunny side this year.
