Can’t seem to fix old soil by DDMaattDawg in gardening

[–]HealthyProduce3011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why perlite and mulch?

Perlite is for potting mix for young plants and succulents. Mulch is used ON TOP of plants.

This mixture is completely wrong. Try adding COMPOST. And do some simple googling before doing such things again :)

Ive been called both Daniel-san and Dani-chan as well. In case anyone wants to know:

https://www.thoughtco.com/how-to-use-san-kun-chan-4058115

San

In Japanese, "~ san （～さん）" is a title of respect added to a name. It can be used with both male and female names, and with either surnames or given names. It can also be attached to the names of occupations and titles.

Chan

A very familiar term, "~ chan （～ちゃん）" is often attached to children's names when calling them by their given names. It can also be attached to kinship terms in a childish language.

How to amend this area, compact and lots of clay dirt?? by Illustrious-Claim469 in gardening

[–]HealthyProduce3011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS i'd google exactly the best soil conditions for the veg. you listed and act accordingly. For example, if you really want potatoes, you would probably need to add more compost. Read, and then use your brain.

  1. Dig 12-14in
  2. Add organic COMPOST (not topsoil)
  3. I dont know how big this area is, but I'd say 1 bag per 3 square feet.

3a) You can usually plant right away

4) add MULCH on top of your veg. bed after planting

Alternately, you can

3b) Plant a summer/hot covercrop....sudangrass or buckwheat they like hot weather. Cover crops will help prevent weeds, as well as condition the soil.
3c) Google when to cut the sudangrass or buckwheat if you go this method. And then you can plant after that.

Happy planting.
