  Hi Bev...I use a mixture of liquid seaweed and liquid fish from Neptunes Harvest...out of Glouster(s) Mass....buy it in five gallon pails...get free shipping and a free t-shirt with their logo on it...each time I buy...:-)
  I am getting away from working the soil in my beds and raised beds...am leanin' towards the Ruth Stout method of gardening...now that I'm gettin' older...70 at present...:-)
  I live on a private road that my sons and I cleared about ten years ago...also cleared our house lots...three. Road fifteen hundred feet long. Did all our own sub-contracting when we put our houses in too. Soil here is pure sand...have been working on it by adding compost and such. Also surrounded by tall timber so I don't get as much sunlight as I need.  My stuff doesn't do as well as it should under these conditions...:-) Have a small 12' by 24' hoophouse that I extend the growin' season with also. Franklin
