But Rick the funny thing is when I give advice (unsolicited of course) to my daughters if they say "are you my mother" I can answer with "YES" and then they'd still roll their eyes and ignore me
Back to soil and compost (in case we get nailed for getting off thread ) I've added 15 bags of composted manure to my new veggie garden that I'm starting next Spring. I've been reading and it says to blend egg shells to a powder and also add coffee grounds to the garden. Anything else you can suggest to add next Spring? It has quite a bit of clay in the soil but it tilled in pretty good with the compost. Since it's on a slope I'm hoping I can amend it enough that it will have good drainage over the years.
