However, looking online I found doing so we'd need to then add about a high amount of a high nitrogen fertilizer - such as ammonia sulfate - 21-0-0 to the soil as it will rob soil of nitrogen as it breaks down, kind of defeating the concept of using it. Of course, any worms would be happy, but the plants will not.
This week with all this 'warmer' weather we've been having, we're going to check the greenhouse for carrots still in it to see if they will still be edible.
What I have found from past tries at carrots, is that if it's warm enough, the bugs will get to them and chew them up around the tops but the bottoms are still good. How is that new snow thrower working out for you two this Winter?
