               I am building a new 1000 ft patch and bringing in top soil and manure. No soil test yet. How much manure should I add and kelp meal should I use to start and compost. Thanks Davd

               I would say, given the existing soil isn’t all that terrible. 1” of manure, 2-3” of compost... , till it in deep and well and your ready for a test..for starters...test is important though
