| kathaab, you are ready for the Compost, Soil and Mulch forum. Don't be intimidated by their technical sounding talk. My gardening mission is to attract earthworms. I both incorporate organic matter---mostly my own compost---and put it on top. Both approaches work well. Worms love seaweed, newspaper, hay, straw, leaves. I gather those ingredients and apply them quite liberally to the surface of my gardens. |
