Well today was a very productive day…
We tilled in about 20 bags worth of top soil, old manure, compost, ash, smelly fish stuff and a dash a miracle grow because a miracle is what I need. Haha…
Last night our borrowed tiller took a dive on us so we had to go to plan B which was a trip down to the ol’ tool rental center for a tiller; this ended up to be a very good thing because the tiller we had was way to small for the area that we were covering, even though it is not THAT much. All and all I would say that it was $50 bucks well spent.
Overall I am not too happy with how my soil is looking… Then again I am not totally sure how it should look like, but I envision a bare black patch of earth meant for growing things, mine is more of a dark brown… I am guessing I will have to fix this by adding in more ‘good’ soil, and compost. Take a look at the picture and tell me what yea think… For now I am at a stand still I suppose, I should wait before I get my soil tested, but I have a gut feeling that it is not up to par now, bit how out of par I have no clue… Damn, I hate being a nOOb with no other local growers…
I will continue to do what I can and search for help! I am now looking for some seeds that I have been told will do better in the Vegas heat… A 1450 Wallace, Holland 500-or 1014,Mitchell 861, or Fredriks 754. If you have any of these seeds of advice then please shoot me an E-mail… [email protected]
