<p>I know there are uses, and I know it's a careful balancing of potassium's benefits (& calcium?) vs the alkaline effect on ph - but I need a rough idea of how much for certain parts of the garden, considering our generally acidic soil.</p>
<p>And what about adding ashes to the compost mix? In small amounts?</p>
<p>Just need some rules of thumbs here...</p>
<p>thanks!</p>

<p>I am wondering what folks would recommend as the best source(s) for to get bulk garden soil medium for growing veggies and other edibles. I know this is outside of the Permaculture ideal, and the best thing is to develop my own great soil, but for situations where that isn't practical to start with, what would you suggest for a Bellingham resident? It could either be delivered or loaded onto a pick-up/trailer. Thanks. Maggi K.</p>

I found some free windows a while back and decided to build two cold frames with them. Now that I've finished the construction, I'm trying to figure out what to grow in them. Seeing as I'm new to growing under cover, I'm unsure of how to best utilize the space. I was thinking of possibly using one for growing greens earlier and the other for starting seeds for transplants. I'l love to hear suggestions about what to grow in them. Thanks
