True4uca - what a surprise to see where you are from. Are you saying that you don't compost anymore?
Elan you are right that is exactly what it is. Our soild is very sandy, it needs organic matter and I don't have enough.
We have just bought a wee place and I am so glad after being in the RV for almost 2 years to have some dirt to play in. Even tho we are in the middle of a reno, I can't not spend time in the garden. I am pit composting so I don't attract any wild critters and have made several trips to the seashore for seaweed. Just using it to top dress right now. It was late when we took possession but I found some zucchini and some cucumber seedlings so I planted them.
