See if your local landfill makes compost from yard and food waste. That stuff is like gold for amending bad soil. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jan 16, 2022, at 7:14 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > You might want to do some research on the idea of adding sand. > > My neigbbour who was an agricultural technician until retirement recently, > says that the only thing you use sand for is to make mortar. > > >> On 1/16/2022 1:32 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes wrote: >> I am planning on tilling in a lot of sand to start, if I do the garden >> project. >> >> >> > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT cub cadet tiller
You might want to do some research on the idea of adding sand. My neigbbour who was an agricultural technician until retirement recently, says that the only thing you use sand for is to make mortar.

Till in compost or manure. You'll need me to bring down the bottom of Lake Michigan if you want to loosen up your soil with sand.

A lot of clay. Indiana is all clay until you get into the flatlands in the north where the glaciers were. I assume Illinois is the same... where I lived Southwest of Chicago, the soil was black.

Re: [MBZ] OT cub cadet tiller
Raised beds and forget tilling. Some of us are too old to be bending down to the ground all time, plus it's easier to maintain, little to no weeding, etc. On Sun, Jan 16, 2022 at 8:48 AM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I agree with Rock.
