For most of the US this cold blast will be the last and it will be time to start getting our hands dirty. I have a 12 acre farm that fully supports my family and leaves plenty left over for storage and the future. While I'm biased a bit, I think it's time to bring back victory gardens.
Get out there, dig in the dirt, and plant some seeds.
Feel free to ask advice here!
Choice of fertilizer? Is milorginite (sp?) a good option?
Go to a garden center and buy the square foot gardening book. The soil is 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 assorted compost, all by volume. This makes a fertile soil that never compacts. This is in raised beds. With loose soil, carrots will grow long and straight. With this, you never need commercial fertilizer, just a bit of compost from your gardening and yard waste.
I don’t like the smell of that.its human sewage treated into fertilizer
