Part of the field where we are planting veggies is more clay like than other areas, so we have been amending the soil. Not only have we mixed in good cotton bur compost with better soil, but we have added lava sand and green sand. Both of these products help improve clay soil that gets very hard and compacted.
This is the first year to spray beneficial nematodes. These are beneficial microbes in the soil that help control grub worms, larvae, fleas and other un-beneficial insects. You can find these online, and we ordered ours through Arbico Organics. Here is my husband Pap spraying them in our garden area.
It has been a cold extremely windy day here in East Texas with forecast of a freeze tonight. So we continue to prepare the beds, sow more seeds in the greenhouse and wait for warmer weather. Come on Spring! We are ready for you!
