Thanks so much for the responses, I think this is going to be (bee) a great site for info.
I'm fortunate to have a large acreage and have mulch in several locations , mostly from maple and pines. So the mulch is from the property and have been using it to some degree. My winter rye loves it in my asparagus patch.
Now for the other vegtables, I have not mulched much from that mulch source and have used mostly commercial fertilizer, miracle grow etc... I want to get away from that this year so I'm Iinvested in now getting the soil conditioned from Mother Earth....Do you. think the mulch containing a fair amount of pine is generally too acidic?
I live near the ocean and have a good source of kelp....some reading tells me that the nutrients from the kelp are excellent for the soil and that the salt and the abrasive nature
of it helps with pest control.
Thanks for the info on Azomite and will do more research on the qualities and benefits of the resource.
