breaking ground
Hello everyone,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are having a bit of a warm spell here in Southern
Indiana,and I am thinking about tilling up my future AG patch. I have access
to a tractor with a cultivator,and thought about tilling about a foot deep
then work in some leaves and old straw that was used for fall decorations.
Is it okay to use most any leaves? I have alot of oak leaves,is it safe to
use these? Also will work in some cow manure in a couple days if the weather
holds out long enough. Should I pack the soil back down when I am finished
to help prevent erosion? Anyone got any other suggestions on building up my
soil this time of year? Also I am going to join all the Grower Associations
I can,to help gain knowledge. I have joined or will join; PGPGA-Ohio
Valley-Ottawa/St.Lawrence-and the WPC. Learning that these can be a good
source of seeds. If you all know of others that have potential,please let me
know,THANKS.
Learning Daily,
Dewight
