QUICKLY ADD ORGANIC MATTER matter to your garden!Unlike commercial fertilizers which dissipate very quickly, poultry litter breaks down over a period of time slowly releasing nutrients into the soil so that young plants receive the maximum benefit through all stages of growth. Chicken litter compost is ideal for tomatoes since they need a slow release of nitrogen through all three stages of development. LAWNS: Organic litter will take that spot which is sparsely covered with grass and make it the greenest, lushest part of your lawn. At the same time it kills out stickers and other unwanted weeds. It is a great year round fertilizer, making lawns green even with winter type grass. The soil will eventually become so fertile that your lawn will be much easier to maintain. You can have the best lawn on the block and be 100 % organic! Tests on certain pathogens, such as E. coli, and on Gumboro and New Castle disease viruses show that they do not survive the pasteurizing effects of composting. The nutrient content of the compost will vary depending upon the amount and nutrient content of the manure and straw, the age of the compost, and the method of storage. Compost samples analyzed by the University of Delaware had the following average analysis on an "as sampled basis": Moisture .................................... 28% Nitrogen (total )....................... 1.85% ammonium nitrogen.........0.15% organic nitrogen...............1.70% P2O5 ........................................ 2.29% K2O .......................................... 1.56% “per Alabama extension service”:http://www.aces.edu/pic/aces-logo.sm.w.gif

Cuban Oregano, Variegated.Also called Indian borage, Spanish thyme, and French oregano.Large cream and green leaves have a sweet odor and make wonderful hanging baskets. Although not a true oregano, the leaves of this splashy, variegated native of Indonesia,may be dipped in batter and fried. Some of my customers have actually used this as a substitute for true oregano in sauces. Plectranthus amboinicus. This tender perennial is hardy to 34°F and usually a pot plant in our climate. Growth habit is procumbent.

Boil, steam, bake or fry. But Pre-order early/ plant when soil warms. Supply is limited, and when gone, there will be no more for the season. Sweet potatoes require a long hot period, so, as soon as the soil warms, plant them. Easy to grow in any well drained soil. Starts (or slips) of sweet potato will produce several potatoes in one mound. Sweet potato plants are very sensitive to cold. They should not be planted outdoors until the soil has warmed up to at least 60 degrees F. and nighttime temperatures are above 60 degrees F. To help heat up the soil, black plastic can be spread over the planting area for a couple weeks before planting. Newly-planted sweet potato slips should be protected from cool spring nights. For the first three to four weeks after planting, keep the plants covered with garden fabric to reduce stress and speed early growth. Don't fertilize your sweet potatoes at planting time — they don't require much in the way of nutrients. An excess of nitrogen will encourage leafy growth rather than big tubers. via Gardner's Supply

Don't buy expensive Tulsi seeds; grow your own. Our Tulsi, or Holy Basil, reseeds itself in our zone 7b-8a garden, although it takes so long (into July) for some of the seeds to germinate that I give up on them every year; then they pop up and surprise me. Ayurveda refers to tulsi or Holy Basil as “the incomparable one,” “mother medicine of nature” and “the queen of herbs”. It is revered as an elixir of life for both its medicinal and spiritual properties. It belongs to the mint family and has two main varieties. The greener variety is called Rama Tulsi and the greenish black variety is called Krishna Tulsi. Holy Basil, Ocimum sanctum, should not be confused with Sweet Basil, Ocimum basilicum, which is commonly used for culinary purposes. Of course, do your own research as well as consult with your own practitioner before consuming any herb known as medicinal.
