Organic farming is simple when you use amendments. My main few I like to use are Blood meal, Feather meal, fish bone meal, fish meal, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, bat guanos, ground oyster shell, ground egg shell, compost, top soil.

I also use clover ☘️ as a cover crop to add protection and life to the soil. It will eventually turn into a humus and feed carbon and nitrogen back to the soil.

I also mulch up my trimmings back into the top soil and let it rot back into the ground.

Over the past year, I've been putting bunny bedding in my garden (sometime fresh and sometimes composted). I started adding some Dr. Earth organic fertilizer, azomite, green sand, mychorizae fungi (sp?), and sometimes some blood meal or bone meal. My plants and trees are doing better than ever before. I'm thinking I found the recipe. My starts also have transplanted better than ever before. In the past, they get so stressed getting transplanted into my beds, that it can take a full month, or even more, to get them happy again. This year, things have looked good almost immediately. It has helped that we have had more rain and the rain has been more slow drizzles instead of our normal scorching heat and then getting pounded by thunderstorms with 40-60 mph winds and even some hail in addition to the rain. I hope this good gardening year continues.

Microbes thrive from these type of organic amendments. In turn the microbes create a soil food web network that adds stability to your plants. Feed the soil correctly and it will become even more fertile in coming years.
