Thanks to both of you for your observations and advice.

tubebender - I have one of those pH meters that you stick in the soil. I do get different readings from all over my property but in the garden it does not vary much - if at all. What kind of kit did you buy?

Diana, thanks I knew I could depend on you to give us some good advice. I use a lot of compost tilled into my soil along with some 13-13-13 tilled in a couple of weeks before I start transpalnting plants to my garden area. Great stuff that compost. I do use a little Miracle-Grow mid season applied by using a bucket and plastic drink cup around each plant.

I believe in directly fertilizing my plants, too. It makes a WORLD of difference and then you’re not wasting product trying to get every INCH of your garden bed perfect. Why feed the weeds? :)

Once again, I’ll plug Algoflash for tomatoes..and anything else! Love, love, love the stuff!
