I am new at gardening....
last yr critters and bugs ate everything.
The rabbits even get thru the chain link
by the gate!
I am very low income...
I do own over 2 acres in Paulden.
Have a 70x48 area fenced...
Need to know since this soil is alkaline
and the prop sits low and lots of
clay.....how to mix potting soil without
without mixing any clay in and growing
in pots....
Need the most inexpensive way to do
this.
I have now tried a bale of peat moss
using that as the main component...
put in bagged potting soil, sulfur and
some sand.
Need a real recipe for this area.................
everyone has trouble out here.
One woman said she uses blood meal
and bone meal....is there a way to MAKE
that stuff yourself as it is very pricey.
I do have a pressure cooker if it is
possible to cook bones enough to
make mush out of them....would
it be the same as bone meal?
