Thanks.
There sure are a lot of prettier pictures out there.
I finished with the wet compost awhile back, and have been using the same sieve to sieve the compost-ash soil through. That particular bed in the picture is just now done except for planting. Has the antigopher cage in it, filled to 4" from full, then I actually amended that bed some with bone and fish meal, just a little, mixed first with some bags of store bought soil, mixed 2 buckets in with a shovel a few inches, smoothed it, then added the top 3 or 4 inches. I have enough to do that to for about 3 more beds.
I sure hope it all works. The bone and fish meal has a bunch of soil biologicals in it, things with names like bacillus subtilis and azobacter something. Supposed to be good stuff. I think it should be.
