1/2" a rain and promising carrots

Winter stuffs

Sowed spinach, leeks, beets, carrots, kale, chard and arugula.

More carrots, more paths, more mulch

Last carrot sowings failed due to heat wave (95+ in Nov!) And lack of mulch. Trying again...

Well shit. Maybe ill fertilize...

My garden just sucks. I've weak plants for probably two years now and the only thing I can think is that my once fertile, regularly amended with compost soil has gone dead. I don't have the time to stay up on composting so I decided to fertilize. Inspired by Steve Solomon's Complete Organic Fertilizer I bought the materials and will be applying later tonight. $70 for the ingredients in 5&6 lb quantities. If it works I'll bump to 25# or 50# quantities next time.

- 6 quarts cottonseed meal, 6-2-1
- 3 cups #65 dolomite lime
- 3 cups gypsum
- 1 quart high phosphate guano (note: ran out, should have been 6 cups)
-
