Nice post Squibb. My interest is in growing giant vegetables. Every year I make some changes in what I do. There are so many opinions about what is best to do. Hearing from a variety of growers about what they believe is helpful. Sometimes opinions are conflicting and then you just have to choose which way to go. All I can do is try to improve the soil I have. I have several raised beds though they are small. I have often thought about taking one area of my garden and throwing all of the soil there away and bringing in my own. So much sand, so much clay, so much silt, so much organic matter and then after a soil test, balancing up the nutrients to get "The Ideal Soil," whatever that is. I know I will never do it and so I continue to try improving what I already have. All of your thoughts help.
