We’re Moving The Garden
Summer and I started Garden 2.0 back in July of 2008. If you check out the pictures, you’ll see that we built a raised planter with rocks and back filled it with a mixture of dirt from the driveway and top soil. Below the soil we brought in is mostly rock. Not much dirt to speak of. We had a good run on our first go around with plenty of Lettuce and tomatoes.
All that changed on round two in the same plot. Summer rotated her plants around and replanted. We watered it daily and maintained well keeping all the weeds out. As of right now, we are producing string beans but everything else is miniature. It’s not dieing, but it’s not growing either.
Summer and I decided it was time to move the garden somewhere with more fertile soil and less ALL DAY DIRECT SUNLIGHT. I have been working on the property a lot lately knocking down Salsa tree’s, weedwacking and weeding and we have an area in the back of the house with nice dirt, 70% sunlight and it’s right next to our compost! I spent a couple hours this week preparing our new garden plot so Summer and I can get planting! It’s really exciting that everything we plant now will be ready around the time our daughter will be born.

Compost that horse poo! It is the best soil conditioner though not quite as nutritious for the plants a cow poo. You can make rows of horse/cow poo and put in your compost. Throw in some worms, cover with old carpet if no rain and you will have the best soil to grow in.

Oh, I meant to say “water if no rain”. Otherwise you could burn up the worms.

You might try mixing in a bag of sand. Our soil is rock hard when dry and sopped when wet. Adding compost is great until it decomposes, and I’ve found that sand helps the texture of the soil so it is better aerated and stays “fluffier.” Make sure the horse crap is TOTALLY decomposed – horses here carry tetnus and weed seeds pass through the horse unaffected – they still germinate. Chicken or goat stuff would be safer to use (I am an organic type person and not at all paranoid – I was advised by the San German USDA not to use horse crap). Just passing on the info. katrina (I also like horses)
