wow thanks, you know your stuff.

I have no land, small 6500 sqft lot in the suburbs. But do have a large feral flock of pigeons that Im trying to make side area a forage area for, I planted some forage which they also called crop cover seeds. Starting to see some breaking thru, I admit I didnt work soil hardly at all, just rushed to get seeds in, was impatient so very grateful anything is breaking thru at all.

My soil has been just slightly acidic, almost neutral 6-7 depends on area.

Interesting about leaving roots! I will do that, I usually pull them but have thought why am I doing this, felt instinctively wrong.

In the front yard where we have grass, wen digging we had a lot of earthworms and the soil is better. The back and side are are taking more bc they had rocks. So Ive been using buckets for growing.

I have a built in rock planter tho that I need to be using since Im limited in space--what would you say is a good soil recipe for a raised planter bed.

Will you give me the exact breakdown of what you would do if yo had a raised rock planter, about 25 x 2 ft so ~50sqft in an L shape.

Exactly what you would put, if buying it since I havent been composting but need something now.

Thanks for your advice
