[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1840592, member: 25884"] The only fertilizer I use is manure from the chickens and cows...because I have it.... I mulch every year with hay/straw/grass clippings/cardboard/whatever. I also got some hay that was off some fields treated for broadleaf weeds and killed all the cucumbers, squash and other plants on that one end. Now I make sure of which fields it comes from. Takes 2-3 years before it is considered safe... I don't do the Ruth Stout method of continuous mulch here yet, since the garden (just moved here 2 yrs ago) is new to me and I am trying to incorporate both the chickens using it during the off months, and garden during the growing season; but I do mulch heavily during the garden season and the chickens help break it down in the off season and get alot of the bugs and seeds out of it. There were next to no earth worms but seeing some now. [/QUOTE]
