re; soil


I have a raised bed garden it,s just about 1000 sq. ft. and 1 ft. deep in the 
front and 2 and a half in the back i added  over 8000 lbs of older cow manure 
 early in the season and what i got besides  mega insects s##t flies 
thousands of grubs of various types and weeds was to much nitrogin it split 
my leaf tubes where thay met the leaf itself and then later on in the season 
the tubes filled up with water and died also gave me huge stumps and vines. 
sometimes it,s better to start with to little then to much. next year im not 
adding much of anything till i get my soil test results back from the local 
county extention. good luck in 2001 John G
