This year's soil amendments (left to right):
- 50lbs SOP
- 720lbs Gypsum: last bag pictured
- 120lbs Dolomitic lime in the patch and 40lbs around the perimeter
- 90lbs Mustard seed meal
- 5lbs Rootsheild+ Granules
- 3lbs Borax
- 5lbs Manganese sulfate
Now for my least favorite part of the season, tilling! There's a rainstorm tomorrow so I have to get it done now so the mustard can activate after it's been mixed into the soil.
