"Doug Kanter" wrote in message ... 1) You're not supposed to turn over the soil. The soil exists in definite layers. The layer at the top BELONGS at the top, not buried or mixed with the layer that's a foot deeper. It contains more of the microorganisms that make organic gardening work so well. If you screw it up, it can take 2-3 seasons to recover, and there's NO way to speed up the process using soil amendments. I didn't know that! I never thought of that! Hey! How about that! I've got a yard full of clay. The kind of adobe that sticks to a shovel like some kind of tenacious creature from another planet. I was going to rototill amendments into the top six inches or so of an area that I want to turn into a garden. I guess I can still do that. I'll just have to remember to leave the top alone once I get things rolling. |
