  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

Franklin, we call his the Homestead List, so we here are all
homesteaders. You, too. Compared to homesteaders of a hundred or two
hundred years ago we are imitations. In the end, labels aren't useful
for much beyond posturing. We are what we feel we are.
