A Gardener's Diary

[Monksdream]

February 25--At least the clouds lifted somewhat in the afternoon. Working soil, however, would have been fruitless. I took the bus to Walmart for soil. I discovered, to my delight, Wallace Farms in Huntersville now supplies Walmart with a composted manure at $2.27 for cubic foot. This is the premier supplier of organic soils in Zone 7b. I've been to the operation. There is a huge mountain of composting materials that eventually become various forms of soils, from simple top soil to mushroom compost.

While at Walmart the seed rack called me. I bought four 50cents packets of seeds. Tomorrow I will run out of Garden Tone fertilizer sometime in the morning so another trip will be necessary.
