Me too. I limed and turned over my garden spot yesterday after letting the leaves from the yard, some chicken litter and ashes from the wood stove sit on top for a while over the winter. We're currently getting tomatoes, lettuce, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, shallots, onions and carrots out of our greenhouse almost daily. It's been a bit of a challenge to keep the tomatoes going this winter with all the "globull warming" we've been having in SE Tennessee, but the rest has fared very well.
I've had trouble with peppers and tomatoes outside over the past couple of growing seasons, mostly due to fungus. My farm is located in a river bottom area and we're usually foggy and soggy every morning until late summer. I think that contributes a lot to the fungus problems. This year I'm going to try several raised beds with mushroom compost as the growing medium for tomatoes and peppers. I've used mushroom compost in my greenhouse and it has worked exceedingly well.
Welcome to the thread, your ideas are good and I hope you will continue to share them with us, there are several that are wanting greenhouses and a couple that have them already.
I'll see if I can find it around here. I know we have fish worm compost. I compost kitchens scraps, grass cuttings,leaves, etc. in two 55-gallon plastic drums with holes drilled in the bottom and around the sides. It takes at least a year to get a black, uniform texture medium.
Your county agent may have some suggestions about the fungus. Despite that, bottoms are usually the richest dirt around here. I wish I had an acre or two.
