Happy New Potting Soil!

Posted on Saturday 6 January 2007 at 03:45

Happy New Year! I haven't vanished into the hinterlands.... Not completely. I saw a lovely T-shirt the other day which said, "I'm out of my mind, please feel free to leave a message." I would have got it, but I was too torn between that one and the one which said, "Why be difficult, when with a little effort, you can be completely impossible?"

To answer Katrina's question, I do have a recipe for potting soil, and it looks like this:

One part garden dirt
One part 50-year-old rotted sheep manure
a few scoops of bonemeal

Bonemeal is not eligible for Certified Organic use, because it does not necessarily comply with a full life-cycle of organic growth. E.g., the animals it comes from were probably not organically raised.

In other news, you can now find TYDOS (To-Your-Door Organic Store) at TYDOS.LazyCreek.net. Still working on getting it fully set up, and I don't have the mainpage (LazyCreek.net) really set up yet... But it's a step.

thanks

I'm a bit late in catching up on your posts... thankfully things are a tad bit slower in winter, yes? Thanks for the potting soil recipe - I like to "collect" things like that and file them away for possible future use (though we don't have any 50 yo sheep manure, so I don't know when I can use that one!).
