Of course you have to have loosened up the soil to do that... The other thing is you can grow all those you mentioned in pots. Half cow poop and half potting mix with a scoop of blood n bone. Grows pretty much anything!<br /><br />Interesting planting down here. My peas just sprouted --it's early winter here! And you can get 3 or 4 years out of a chilli plant! You wouldn't believe the winter haul I'll have soon of really hot (close to habenero hot) chillis!<br /><br />I imagine I'd have just as much to learn about high altitude gardening as I did have to learn about Southern Hemisphere gardening!<br /><br />Anyways, mix a bunch of dried cow poop and blood n bone in your depleted soil, it's great for growing anything.<br /><br />Oh, I can get the dried cow poop by the 30 litre bag here, the blood n bone mix is usually sold in a 10 litre bag. I'm sure the garden centers there should have something like that.Alaskan Dave Down Underhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13726448407614912997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29169453.post-29829411538722775832010-06-12T12:40:00.755-06:002010-06-12T12:40:00.755-06:00I do medium altitude gardening.
