You know with everyone mentioning adding this or that into there soil telling you guys simplest soil i figured i try this year is what we normally do in our garden is only exception is i went 40 percent new screened top soil and 40 percent compost from our compost bin which consists of table veggie scraps coffee grounds , egg shells everthing green onion peels carrots potato peels everything ,, Also i have added used fats ..
Bacon roast etc FATS ..
Now before everyone gets in a up roar, I will be straight up coming from a farming background i will listen to my Father well before some so called soil biologist being he is 86 and has been farming all his life ..
there is no substitute for actual hands on knowledge .. when it comes to living on the land trust me
Fats do decompose all living carbon based things decompose and different speeds.. Fats take about 5 - 8 days to start to decompose and it actually speeds up wants its started .. believe it or not Fats convert to sugars and carbs an proteins amino acids etc so with that said we add some fats into our compost bin around a liter per cubic yard
with that said all we do is in fall we make culverts and place compost ,, let it sit open over winter spring we roll it or mix it in also adding more and in 50 plus years no soil tests have been done and lt me tell you only rain water things grow and grow niice
this is true LOS not by adding beanies teas or any other ingredient
My out door is same soil compost only thing i added was fresh grass clippings and worms and cardboard into soil i am shocked how healthy plants are in flower and its performance for only water feed
