This is the time of the year to be thinking about, or getting ready for winter vegetables.

If you have some ground already dug up, now would be a good time to spread some rock dust (as I mentioned last issue). It has 60 different minerals and the major ones (calcium, magnesium and potassium) are in small amounts.

Last month I talked about how a plant feeds and how water soluble fertilizer stresses the plant. This time I would like to talk about how to help the soil make humus (perfect plant food).
