Planting

Prepare new planting beds by scraping away existing grass and weeds, adding 4-6″ of compost and tilling the mix 3″ into the native soil. Good additional ingredients include rock powders such as granite sand, greensand, lava sand, zeolite or soft rock phosphate at 40-80 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. and organic fertilizer at 20 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. Do not use pine bark, peat moss, concrete sand, artificial fertilizers, or artificial weed block fabrics.
