Thanks for all the great advice,

To answer the question "Why are you avoiding animal products?" I should have
mentioned it in the original message. First off the free manure in my area
would come from large scale poultry and dairy operations. These animals are
full of hormones, antibiotics and who knows what else. I wouldn't want any of
that to end up in my veggies. Secondly, I'm a vegetarian and would rather not
use animal products if at all possible. Bat guano sounds safest to me, but
alas I have no bat cave.

The raised bed sounds like a good idea. Do you build a frame of some sort
around the raised bed? If so, what materials are used? And how high should
the raised bed be? My property is on a slight incline and the raised bed in a
frame might eliminate any erosion problems.

Thanks again for all the help,
