Tip of the Week
For a great pick me up for poor soil, spread a 3-inch layer of compost over the planting area. For each 100-square feet, apply 20 pounds of cottonseed meal and one-half cup of processed seaweed. Add soil sulfur. Till the amendments in to a depth of 6-12 inches and water in thoroughly. Allow the bed to rest 3-4 weeks before planting. In subsequent years, to refresh again, reduce the cottonseed meal by half and omit the sulfur, unless needed to adjust soil pH.
