Last October's soil test. After getting the results I hand tilled the following into my 300 sq. ft. patch:
-2 yards of compost
-1-2 yards of dry, shredded maple leaves
-40 lbs. gypsum
-2 lbs. muriate of postash (I know its high in sodium but its all I had for potassium at the time)
-1 oz. of borax
-A few pounds of left over alfalfa and cottonseed meal
-A small amount of left over, five years past expiration date, men's daily vitamins that were finely ground (I don't take them anymore and figured I'd put those minerals into the soil rather than throw them away)
Over the course of the winter (November-January) I aslo periodically scatter coffee grounds over the patch, averaging about a five gallon pale's worth each time.
