But first, Robert’s Story:
Over the past thirty-five years, I have extensively examined this issue!
When I was a young boy, my family and I would visit my Aunt Katie and Uncle Mark. Uncle Mark was an old-school gardener whose gardens were always absolutely magnificent! There were sugar-sweet grapes, sun-rise orange carrots, and ruby-red Jersey tomatoes in every variety along with several other fruits and vegetables.
If you could think it, HE GREW IT!
He showed me how he grafted different varieties of apples on the same tree; eventually, this is the technique I used on citrus trees.
There is one thing that I vividly remember him saying, “You have to MAKE good compost!”
My uncle would pile the autumn leaves in his compost bin by Cookie’s dog house. He then filled every cold frame that wrapped around the garden which he used for his early spring seed set. To the leaves he added all of the vegetables, scraps, clippings and other leftovers that were composting throughout the summer. Uncle Mark also visited local farms to acquire manure for use in his compost. Cookie contributed as well, along with the rabbits he kept in hutches under the grape arbor.
“Cover it all with garden lime, and let Mother Nature’s winter do its work!”
I now know the science behind the recipe that he used for generations. It’s a good balance of natural N-P-K (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) and Calcium in order to replace the soil nutrients that had been carried away with the past summer harvests. There was a large brick open-hearth fireplace in my uncle’s livingroom where he burned hardwood and fruitwood all winter. He would use all of the leftover charcoal and ashes for his garden.
Today we call this process of building soil fertility, “TERAPRETA,” which is a method that mankind has used for Millennia…
