Turn them in to build your soil. The worms will find their way in to the mound just lightly water it and they'll go to town

Cover crop draw same nutrients to make tissue as your plant there for off season not for companion planting

I always plant white clover as a living mulch, I think it helps fix nitrogen and coves the bare soil so it's not so noticable and acts like a living mulch. If I'm correct it's more beneficial or do you think not?

Clover fixes nitrogen for itself. Your canna only gets that fixed N when the clover foliage and nodules are decomposing.

That's why I recommend turning cover crop in like you're suppose to.

If you want companion plants put lemon balm marigolds and chrysanthemum around the edges of your mounds

Nice starts you got going there, looking pretty tangible.

Screws, sorry to ruffle all the fertilizer salesman in your thread. They hate to hear about gypsum, 40lbs for 7$. Cat, Jidoka, Lead........... You happen to see what SlowN said about getting rid of excess with cover crops, lol.

Read this, find out how and where gypsum could help remove excesses in your soil. Step one, test soil. Step two, read this and apply knowledge. Good luck.

Your reading comprehension skills are extremely poor.

I don't recommend throwing away the cover crop but decomposing it in the soil to build structure and allow the root nodes of the N fixing plants to release that fixed atmospheric nitrogen.

I do not think screwes is in dire need of a corrective application. Of gypsum that you think every one needs .

You have a bad habit of just parroting whatever the latest paradigm you subscribe to as the truth for every one before you've even fully tested it even for just a season.

I think dude would be best served to spray on acetates and glycinate and just work on his soil structure maybe add some VanSil and some of his topsoil in.

Who wants to bet HB turns on SN before it is over.

caterpillar710 · Mar 26, 2017

That's a poor bet to take if you're a betting man

care to elaborate? not too familiar with acetates and glycinate. and to improve soil structure, what is VanSil, where to get? and should i till the topsoil into the mounds, like maybe 10% of total volume?

what benefits do those provide? might look cool...

My reading skills blah blah.... I wasn't talking to you, so learn to ready maybe? Obviously that was directed to lead........ The one who did suggest getting rid of excess with cover crops......

Winfed beaver? Like the chick's with angel wings tattooed on they're backs?

I combat the grasshoppers with chickens. So instead of the grasshoppers messing the plants up the chickens uproot them and FUCK my mulch up. I made a garlic, onion and cinnamon spray that worked on the weak phenos

Hope you have a great season schrews. I checked your test out and your soil is in pretty decent shape

Changed what you said after my response...lol

Edit...pussy

HazyBulldog · Mar 27, 2017

I edited a spelling mistake, like I do on almost every post I make. I type faster than I can spell at times. You drunk again?

jidoka · Mar 27, 2017

Horseshit. How does my first response make any sense to a spelling error. You is a lying pos
