Bombs grow well...especially when we are giving them FERTILIZER! Think anyone thought this thing through and made sure that it was fertilizer that can’t be made into explosives?

Forget summer for most vegetables. Winter and parts of fall and spring are the best growing season. Maybe watermelons okra corn cukes in summer and a few other fruiting items

I live by the beach and grow everything in sand. I mix in topsoil first though,
then fertilize using compost tea. Everything grows very well because of the
good drainage that sand offers. I'm trying corn this year, we'll see how that goes.
