Thanksgiving Holiday weather was a pleasant treat as one patch is nearly completed this morning. All that remains is soil testing to determine pH and sub-soiling to be completed in a couple of weeks. Sub-soiling will be accomplished using a backhoe to dig up and mix all of the additions with the parent soil to a depth of about 18 to 24" just above the weeping tile tha was installed two years ago. I might add a bit more sand as I have 20 yards coming this week and may have some left over.

Today's Patch 3 Additions & Supplements completed and tilled in in about 2 hours.

10 yards compost horse & chicken with shavings 4 months old. pH 7.2. Patch may require Al sulfate of pelletized sulfur to lower pH.

25 pounds Humic Acid

50 pounds Alfalfa Meal

50 pounds Kelp Meal

40 pound Beat Shreds with Molasses.

50 pounds Corn Meal
