Poor people have poor ways.

I ordered most of my seeds from Jung's last night and some plants for redoing much of my strawberries etc. Our winter last year really damaged even my raspberries and asparagus as well. I always look forward to spring and planting. I do two gardens one in lighter soil at home and one 6 miles east by my son that is 2 miles from the lake and heavy clay. Gives me a lot of flexibility but a lot to learn too. I am trying something new this year. I used to mulch my garden with sheep poop after it was planted and up and growing. This year I am going to dig deeper trenches for all my seeds and plants and wider too and put the compost in the trench then some dirt and then the seeds or plants. Hopefully good nutrients by the plants and far fewer seeds in the rows. Great I hope for onions, carrots etc. It will take a lot more time to plant but what the H with all trips cancelled it is fishing, sheep and gardens this year. It will be a test. I plan to dig out all my established raspberries, asparagus etc. and dig trenches, mulch and replant. I am hoping to find ways to lessen weed growth and not use any inorganic fertilizers or pesticides if I can.
Bryce If you use good sheep poop-it is excellent-as long as you are getting it from a sheep farmer etc-I don't believe that the fertilizer bags that say sheep manure are in fact sheep manure-they probably stuff anything in there.Our friends had goats and sheep and they are an excellent source of good manure-my garden was amazing! Have not been able to get it anymore-as they quit ranching and moved away.
