That’s good to hear about oregano. I’m going to get a few oregano plants this spring then. I’ve had mint plants before and they are impossible to kill. One of the perfect plants as long as you can keep it under control 🤣

Do you find tarragon and oregano difficult to grow? I’ve been eyeing both of those but don’t want something too finicky

Just saw the picture btw. Looks great! Hoping I can get somewhat close to that this year. Are you a professional farmer?

Okay this is all great info. This picture is from last year so I added limestone (my pH tested 4.5-5, this area was previously pines) and I added about 4 inches of wood chips. Also added a few inches of leaves. I’m nervous about fertilizer (mostly don’t want to overdo it) but looks like I’ll have to if I want to grow anything here lol. I heard that pines can really mess up soil. The soil was very compacted.

I do also have access to free chicken, cow and horse manure. Again I’m nervous to apply because I don’t want to overdo it and mess up the soil.

Thank you for the advice! Would a standard 10-10-10 granule fertilizer work or should I just do nitrogen? I am a total noob at corn so don’t be afraid to over explain.
