Hi Namkha,
Thanks for the great ideas. As far as the cow turds go, I must say that there is no smell to them. I got bags of the "shit" from a local farm. Its from those cows with lots of soft skin hanging down under their necks. It came from the side of their "barn" It could be a few years old. Anyways the plants look ok now. I put some used coffee grounds in the pots and watered through.
The things that grow in the native ground here are things like basil, "manao" limes, papaya, mangoes, a bunch of different types of flowers. So you suppose if I cut up a bunch of the vines and various greens that do grow along the ground and stuffed them in a barrel with water that would make a good tea? would you aerate that or just let it "steep"?
As far as making the soil more usable, I have read that mixing used coffee grounds and that burned rice husk stuff into the clay will improve it. What do you think about doing that?
Again great info, alot there for me to think about and digest! thanks
again
