Toss everything in there, then what comes out goes into the clay. Mix with bags of Gypsum and Vermiculite, weeds, lawn clippings, bails of straw, hair from your brush (dog and cat too!) and anything else that is organic. Add some rock dust (like Azomite) bone and blood meal. Wait a year before planting though or most will die (because the ground will heat up too much and fight for the nutrients). Make sure you've got a 4-bucket compost tea system in a corner of your patio or barn, for when you DO get that garden planted. I only have 2-acres, but am alone, 6 miles out of town with no friends or neighbors to count on for help. You are SO lucky to have a hubby and wwoofers to help. Closest ones to me are in Nashville 100-miles away :-(. Love your posts and pix!
