Amending the soil in the beds

Posted by Jake. View Comments

ALOHA…made this video a few months back..to share how I amended the SOIL in our square foot garden beds, after the summer crop.  So..it’s a little old, but still relevant.  I’ll be shooting some Winter updates soon..and show the GROWTH!!  They’re all GROWING again..now that the sun is rising higher in it’s path each day.  VERY grateful for the SUN!

The cold is fine..but no SUN…makes it hard to grow much at all!!  Glad it’s back up there!  Digging swales and planting seeds again!

SO many ways to tend your soil..this is just one of them.  Hope everyone’s having fun tending to theirs.  I’m going to keep playing around with different things like greensand, kelp, the list goes..on!  Such a fun experiment..and the plants love you…and you feel LOVE…while playing with them!

Things used to amend the SOIL: 

AZOMITE
(Great ROCK DUST that..adds trace minerals back..the worms love it!)


RED WIGGLERS
(Beautiful Bacteria!)

 

COMPOST
(make your own..throw some worms and Azomite in there..to help you work the pile..!)

 

OCEAN WATER
(diluted 2000)ppm  …adds all “known” and ”unknown” trace minerals/ormus minerals back!
