The Best Poo?

[DC Sunshine]

Now I have your attention....

I've got an area of very sandy soil which I want to make into a veg/herb garden in my yard for next spring. Was wondering if someone knows what the best way to build the soil is - manure, loam, mulch? Or a combination? I've got about 5 months of fairly cool wet weather coming, complete with frosts.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

of the above mixed with layers or newspaper and wood shavings, like you would for a compost and finish off with some stuff like zoodoo ZooDoo - Home you probably can get something like we have here from your local zoo, its wonderful stuff to grow a vege garden in

with the layers you will get a nice rich garden at the end of it

I thought this was going to be a thread about pho!

Herbs generally like lean fast draining soils. You probably don't need to amend it for Mediterranean herbs.

Have heard of the zoo poo, would like to use it, but we're about 200 km from nearest zoo. Might go some moo poo, and layer with mulch etc. Thanks for the tips all

Gonna try for a mix of parsley, chives, basil, oregano, that sort of thing - basic ones that suit lots of dishes. Looking forward to getting started, the shops charge an arm and a leg for fresh herbs. Grrr.

Now this is too much - one of you wants me to dig a fictional character into my garden as fertilizer, and another wants me to dig up a real character who wrote fiction and do the same.

What is the world coming to?
