I am so sorry for hijacking the thread - we should probably open a new topic for this.

Tania I dont think you highjacked the thread by any means.
We are talking about building soil and the methods to do it.

I one of your posts above you said you didn't mix anything into the soil.
I already know your soil is acidic so I no you aren't adding sulfur.

You stated that you used wood ashes which is great for your acidic soil.

I just wanted to say to the rest that wood ashes will raise the PH even though they contain potash/potassium.
About 10% of wood ash contains potash.

Looking at the soil analysis it said there was plenty of potassium in the soil so there would be no need for the thread starter to add this.

Just in case someone tells them to someplace else.
