Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Ryan Albinger" <ryalbinger@earthlink.net>]

By the time the compost is delivered and applied, $40 per cubic yard is
ballpark.  My own compost will cost me about $105 per ton amended with rock
dusts and so forth.  I had the thought that 1 inch seemed normal for food
growing crops.  And yes, I do know other, lower cost soil improvement tools.
