[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3073308, member: 5412"] We use wheat straw to insulate our dog houses during the winter. 11 bales. Those bales go into the garden and get tilled in before planting annually. I can't tell you how many 7 cubic ft bales of peat moss has been tilled in, but like Magna19 said, you have to get a soil sample. Typically mine needs nitrogen as the straw robs the nitrogen in its process of turning back into soil. Be cautious of putting fireplace ashes in the garden unless your soil sample says it needs it. At one time when first starting to adjust the PH of my soil that had turned Acidic, the application of powdered lime took a couple of years to finally correct the PH issues. My harvest improved at the same time the PH changed. The addition of lime takes a long time to do its thing, and it can be overdone easily by over application. Most garden plants like a little bit of acidity. [/QUOTE]
