if you are in a highly alkaline location you likely
do not need any more salts or calcium. instead look
to growing organic materials that will eventually end
up being turned into humus. if you can salvage any
clean organic materials and get them used as mulch or
compost them you will instead be building topsoil and
building on top of that alkaline base. protect it
from the wind and getting blown or washed away.
elemental sulfur may likely be much more economical
as an acidifier.

Songbird, how's it going there? Prepped beds yet?

Songbird, how's it going there? Prepped beds yet?
i'm not doing too much outside at the moment as it has
been raining and/or snowing regularly enough since we had
our previous nice break in the weather that i'm not
willing to play in the cold mud.
about all i've done is plant a groundhog (and have seen
another but i don't know if i got it or not).
the gardens are in pretty good shape from last fall so
any prep work will go pretty easy this spring - but it
will be a few weeks away at the earliest that i will
think about planting some peas and some early beans. peas
will survive some cold but the beans may not but that is
ok as i have several gallons of seeds to work with if i
do need to replant. i've had pretty good luck with my
early bean plantings the past three years so we'll see if
i can make it a fourth.
at the moment i'm sick from a bug i picked up last
weekend so we'll see how this goes too...

thanks, i'm not fully over it yet, but i'm doing better
each day.
hot chocolate and well buttered homemade toast is
something i've always liked.
basically the best things for me right now are to keep
hydrated any way i can, to get as much sleep as possible
and to rotate which direction i'm laying so my lungs will
be able to break up and bring up the crud that's left over
from fighting this off.
