I sent my soil samples into the the lab to be tested. I did one sample of my rotten raised bed and one sample of the soil just in my yard. The bad thing is that I sent my check for $4 less than I was supposed to, so I didn't get any results, so I mailed the $4 but forgot to put any information with it and I still haven't gotten my results!! I didn't care for awhile and I didn't care about my garden and stopped everything even saving garden scraps because we were going to move, but now we're not because banks selling foreclosed homes are retarded!!! We are disappointed, but really in a great situation here, so I started gardening again.
Oh, before we were going to move, I spread out alfalfa pellets on my dumb garden bed-- I should call it # 1 and then covered it with clear plastic so it will compost the pellets into the earth and hopefully release Nitrogen. I did this after digging up the whole thing and letting the kids use it as a dirt box. They had so much fun and really got the ground good and mixed I think. So just yesterday, I laid down the drip tape and planted lettuce, chard, beets, spinach and fennel. I plan to plant some more and maybe if I get a beautiful garden, we'll move. We'll see what happens!!
