soil time

Thanks for the advice. Another good source for soil build-up is a local
mushroom farm.  They need to replace their beds often and should make the
compost available for next to nothing. One near me sell it for $5.40 a cubic
yard.
It's a wonderful mix of the good stuff, and I it shouldn't stink. Worth
checking out.

  I had the same problem with a truck load of seaweed I had delivered. Boy oh
  boy did it stink. I ended up covering the pile with a couple bags of lime.
It

  Give it a try.
