This is another attempt to "do everything right" in one spot. These attempts really invite failure because "perfection" is setting the bar high. But I never fail to learn something.
Anyhow the recipe for this cake so far:
-slice all weeds off with my special hoe (I'll post about this later this week)
-throw down vetch/wild pea seed
-spread 8 lbs of dolomite
-add a truckload of horse manure (an inch or so)
-add about 10 lbs of lime and 10 lbs of balanced, but high potassium fertilizer
-add cereal rye
-add native soil back over the top, about 1/2 inch to keep the birds from eating all the rye
(halfay done when picture taken)
Next I would like to add straw like frosting and coat the straw with ammonium sulfate using a sprayer. Oh delicious! Also, I wish I had innoculated the rye with some proven biologicals.
But as I said:
Its not perfection, just an attempt...
