I haven't used any fertilizers on the plots, just some Miracle Grow look-alike for sproutlings that I started from seed & while they were in their potlets. I have not bought any steer manure for this garden, but I have in the past for my gardens. Goin' on the cheap here as the pay now, loose tomorrow gets old. I have in this garden tilled in compost that I make from kitchen waste & yard/garden trimmings, but even so I think the "rich dark" look in my vid & photos is largely becasue the soil is very wet.
There is the matter of chemical soil test kits for consumers that I have tried in the past. I found the results vauge or inconclusive so I don't even bother any more. Any of y'all use these and have better results than I did?
Off to do some diggin' as the Sun has made an appearence in the Land of Perpetual Grey.
