Chemical fertilizers vs non chemical fertilizers
I've been gardening for a few years no, we usually plant with 8-8-8 or 13-13-13 and top dress with 34-0-0. This year after reading Acres magazine and documentaries I would like to use non chemical fertilizers. New have a good bit of rabbit manure from the rabbits we raise. I had read somewhere that a non chemical fertilizer like 3-3-3 would be comparable to a chem. 10-10-10 because of the way they break down in the soil. School me please!

Kim,
I use the old style for corn... I plant pole beans along with the corn. The corn provides the pole, and the beans provide extra nitrogen.

a little rabbit manure and lots of mulch with a little wood ash will make a great garden. Let your plants tell you what they need, listen carefully. If you do this, then you will have a wonderful garden.
