Here's their growing space. It's not much. Roughly 150 square feet of prepared dirt that had previously never been anything but grass and weeds. You can't tell yet but before planting I bombed the perimeter with glyphosate to beat back some of that grass and weeds, along with some trying to restart in the prepared dirt.
I didn't think non-AG's worth getting a soil test for, so here's what I prepared the dirt with:
4 buckets of sand (clay soil)
3 18-gallon totes of compost
1/2 bucket of homemade organic fertilizer: (4 parts cottonseed meal, � part lime, 1 part bone meal)
1-2 quarts of gypsum
1 Ball pint jar of potassium sulfate 0-0-50
If I had to make a guess as to the NPK of the homemade organic fertilizer, I'd say it's something like 6-5-3.
