Re: Soil Nutrients
If you can, go all out, add cow, chicken, horse manure....leaves,
preferralby maple leaves, no oak leaves, compost, dried grass clippings,
plant rye in the fall and till it under in the spring, adds nitrogen to the
soil. I have added all these things, has paid off so far. Next year, egg
shells are going to be buried in my garden and if i can, dead fish!!!
Hope this helps.
