Ain’t no prettier picture than that – 1000 sq ft of rototilled patch. Let the Season Begin !!
Fall Prep: 3 – 4x8 trailer loads of mushroom soil topping with an additional trailer load piled in the middle for spring topping after rototill; 1-2” grass clippings; 4” maple leaf mulch.
Fall Soil Test – pH – 7.5; exceeded recommended levels of phosphate, potash, Mag and Calcium
Spring prep before rototill: 40 lbs of granular gypsum, 20 lbs 10-10-10 – forgot to send a spring soil test before adding this stuff and rototilling. Plan to get a disease test from Western Laboratories in Parma ID. After taking soil samples for disease test, will top off with the pile of mushroom soil.
