How to BETTER my soil in raised beds
Hi guys- I have 5 raised beds and 1 really huge in the ground bed. Tomatoes are growing in all of the beds except for 2. My question is, I see everyone rotating their crops (I cant) and adding things to the soil to help build it. There is a small window between Spring/Fall (I plant those fall plants in Aug and Spring plants usually wont make it past July though I'm going to try to help extend them). What can I do to help add nutrients, strengthen the depleted soil, and also since I cant rotate, just help make the soil just as good as when I first added it?
Thanks in advance Also- I have a part time job at a coffee shop where I could literally bring home 15lbs of coffee grounds a week. When/how much coffee grounds would you add to your garden? Directly to where tomatoes/veggies are growing or add a composter? Thanks!
