    So what are you using as a fertilizer? Are you using anything extra like Miracle Grow or compost?

    We have nothing but thick clay out here so I dig pretty deep to replace as much as possible with good garden soil and chop up some banana skins to mix up in it. The tomatoes just took off like crazy after that.

      I have zero idea what he uses. The soil is perfect. Just nice dirt. He tills the shit out of it with a tractor with a big tiller behind it and grinds all the soil up nicely. Then we smooth it and get to work on our rows. He is the brains and I just watch and learn so far. His fertilizer spreader is the size of a vw bug. lol

      after the plants start to come up, i tend to it. being a disabled fuck that has a hard time getting around, it is stupid simple for me to stand and slowly hoe the rows and weed it. it's nice......my damned groin never stops hurting so this is pretty metatative
      May God give us strength and courage in the time of our darkest hours.

        Man that sucks. Sorry to hear it's not getting any better. I strained a groin muscle once and it was sore for about a week. That wasn't fun at all. I can't imagine a torn one that would just suck.

          yeah, it has been since january 21st. muscle retracted up into my pelvis and it constantly lets me know it is fucked. tried 12 sessions of physical therapy and no help. waiting for second opinion about surgery. the therapist and first doctor said it needed surgery and everything I have read agrees, so i just keep waiting. workers comp checks barely cover my expenses, but they do.
