I started seedlings last weekend... peppers, eggplant and at least 6 tomatoes, including Mortgage Lifter.

If you have some coarser sand (contractors sand) that would work. I'm not sure about the ratio .. but you don't need too much .. it helps with drainage. I bought several yards of garden soil already amended with the sand when we made the raised beds two years ago. I found it didn't have enough clay mixed in.. so had to add some clay last year. A good ratio of rich compost, sand and clay is works well. I'm going to test my soil this year .. not sure what to expect from the readings.Mrs. Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644129213141875138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29617239.post-52313409853014467902013-03-14T11:11:07.871-06:002013-03-14T11:11:07.871-06:00Excellent.

Everyone's talking about using sand to making the soil better. I honestly haven't seen sand in the plant shops. I guess sand found near the sea will be too salty?Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.com
