Soil tips:
Keep your soil covered with plants or compost. Grow cover crops (lava beans, alfalfa) – they heal and enrich the soil.
If you use only kitchen scraps in your compost pile, you create a bacterial compost which weeds and Bermuda grass love. Add straw and paper to make fungus predominant compost. This is good for most plants.
Plant cool season vegetables such as:
beets leeks
broccoli lettuce
Brussel sprouts mustard
cabbage onions
carrots peas
cauliflower radicchio
celery radishes
fava beans spinach
kale Swiss chard
