ssg- you mentioned an Ace Hardware soil product, for seedlings, that you like? They have something for vegetables, Gardeners Gold? It didn't come up on the website. The Edgewater Ace that Judy goes to has a great horticulturist. He did side by side trials of this mix with something else, and they took pictures showing marked difference. They seem to have a good quality in their gardening lines. They sell a lobster compost, too. In fact, I remember posting that there is a web cam on their composting facility.

I cultivated around the asparagus and I want a little more cold and weather to try and get any beetle eggs that might be there. Then I think I'll top with some lobster compost. Ace sends 5$ off 35$ or whatever coupons now and then.
