Saturday morning was a chilly 18 degrees. I waited until afternoon to start patch work. I applied manganese, zinc, copper and borax along with half of my kelp meal as a carrier. Used a push-type spreader when wind was calm. I also put on 40# of 10-10-10. We had some rain today to start working it into the soil. Tomorrow I plan to throw on some oats to thicken up the cover crop. In about a week or so I will be adding composted chicken manure crumbles and 0-0-50. Maybe another load of compost too.
