Missing piece(s) of the puzzle
Hello list
I just wanted to send out a plea for advice. I have been growing for 4 years
now and have had a bit of a plateau around 400 lbs. So far we have been adding
compost, chicken manure (sparingly), set up wind barriers, rain water
resevoirs, hot houses in the spring, mounds, etc. etc.
My question is more for the soil preparation for the area directly around the
main root. Earlier, growers were mentioning coffee grounds (how much?,
where?, why?) and high amounts of compost (to what depth?, right around the
main root?, what kind of compost?) Is there anything else I could or should
try in order to crack the 500 lb mark?
Thanks for any input.
