kennysh,
I've checked out feather meal as you suggested, and it seems like it's exactly what I'm looking for. Seeing I'm in Zone 7b, I've got time to add the meal well before I start planting. How would you suggest I add it? Could I mix it with the compost pile directly? If so, how much? The pile is about 5.5 foot high in the center, and about 10-11 feet across at the base, so it's a substantial size.
Eventually I intend to put about 4 to 5 inches of the amended compost in my raised beds, and fill 8 to 10 20 gallon grow bags. I can use my tractor bucket to mix the meal well.
So, what would you do?
