Just curious... after removing this rotting deck... the soil beneath is teeming with worms... after all these years and dead leaf matter and what not ... is this good soil to grow in?
Ahhh ok! No chicken poop here plus this is texas soil after about a foot it's straight clay! What would you recommend as amendments? Besides chicken poo that is...
Fresh cow or horse manure will work. Around here, you just find a horse boarding stable and explain you are putting in a garden soon and ask if you can clean a few pens up. The stable owner and a few horses get a cleaned pen, you get free manure. Everybody's happy! Granny
You need a bunch of sand for clay based soil... After many years of working it into the soil it will eventually help. No, it's not good soil to grow in.
I've always wanted to try this. I grow my weed indoors but it would be nice not having to water my tomato plants next year. hugelkultur: the ultimate raised garden bed
Ohh wow good idea I have family that works near stables! That's just gonna be a weird question to ask lol!
I'm growing indoors currently as well... only prob is I can only grow one plant ... this is my best dwc grow yet thanks to random ass autoflower gentics!
@Anonymous710 Don't worry! It is VERY unlikely that the stable hasn't been asked about manure before! Granny
