Soil Preparation - calling on nctomatoman and others

Bill Johnson · February 22, 2006

Here goes with the first post. I've been gardening for several years and have struggled with poor soil conditions for the whole duration of my gardening experiance. I'm curious to hear how others prepare their soil for planting each year. I called on nctomatoman because I have read where he grows plants in soil that has fusarium and yet I see where he has spectacular results from the photos on his website. Craig, would you mind detailing how you prepare your soil such as how much compost, amendments, etc. do you add to your soil for each plant? Any fertilizing schedule during the course of the year, and what do you use?

Would love to hear from others with difficult soil growing conditions as well.

Thanks in advance,
Bill
