Starting a veg garden...(I'm going to try to keep this short lol)
Tested soil...7.0 ph...NO nutrients...lol
not quite NO nutrients...nitrates virtually non exisistant...test 3X and called A&M extention and they said it's probably right...something to do with soil type, last real rain being a hurricane and that being more than a year ago now. (horrible draught)
Phos and pot low...
Now it's my understanding that the 7.0 is okay for most veg's...
Should I just add a 10-10-10 or what would anyone recommend to get started here? Also my soil is pretty sandy...should I add peat or something for added water retention? I have no compost started (organic gardening is not a must for me though)...I am using beds so, if you give me an amount PLEASE tell me the amount for square foot or 4X4 ft or something like that because I don't know acres lol...
Thanks you sssssssooo much for any help you can give me...I am at such a loss...I feel like I'm just drowning in information from this article and that but, no real concrete answers from anyone whose gotten their hands dirty. Please ask questions so I can fill in any blanks because I'm not even sure what info to give to get advice...lol...
Hugs,
Jamie
