LanTerra Update - Having mostly completed compost additions last fall Patch prep this spring is meager. So Sprayed very early on in Feb with Soap, dormant HC oil and Chitosan. Then earlier this week sprayed 6 gallons on the entire patch and all compost piles with molasses and honey mixed with another very strong Chitosan mix plus Humic Acid and Epsom Salts.
The main planting site is prepped now. Added final touches yesterday include.

Spread - up to 1" thick each of Worm castings, Coconut Coir, Promix Mix with Myco plus extra Vermiculite.
Sprinkled in - WOW Humic Acid Concentrate, Rock dust, Bone meal and some Blood meal.
Whipped in - Oyster shell flower and Dematiaceous earth for pest and nematode controls.
Dusted over - Moderate amounts of three Protein Powders Hemp, Soy & Sunflower.
Broadcasted in - Osmocote combined with Organic MG Fert, Plus Espoma Bio-Tone.
Lightly raked in the mixes into the first thee inches of the surface.
Covered over the 10 x 10' planting site with fresh old winter surface garden bedding of leaves and organic debris .
Watered the entire area with stagnated rain water and a strong Alaskan Fish mix.
