As nice as my sandy loam soil is here in the swamp, it is fairly poor. Likely due to the variety of trees and plant life here before I carved a garden out of it. I did great for fertilizer when I had chickens. Neutralize the poop with lime and it is ready to use, or leave it for a month to mellow out before using it. Great stuff, better than cow poop. I have a nice big mulch pile, but I need to get chickens again.
I began to use commercial fertilizer after that, and it became an addiction to the soil. I'd rather find natural sustainable organic ways to condition the soil and have it improve over time than inject it with nitrogen every week as a temporary fix when the plants start getting the Jones for more.
