Fall Patch prep for 2008 season

All quantities are for the 2100 sq. ft. patch
October 2007
6 yards fresh dairy solids/washed dairy manure
6" maple leaves
200 pounds gypsum
Tilled
Covered patch with another 6" maple leaves (probably a mistake)
and then spread 40 pounds calcium nitrate over the leaves
and sprayed a bacterial solution of 1 qt. bottle of septic tank sludge remover and 1 pt. molasses (not enough, probably)
