I have a herb garden in my backyard along with tomatoes, hot peppers, and rasberries. I also have a hops yard started. My parents have a two acre family garden with tomatoes, beans, peas, blackberries, peppers and okra. My father gets crab sheds from a crabber friend of his and tills them into the soil for the nitrates and calcium. When I was a kid he would get a tandom load of chicken manure every year from a friend of his that had an egglaying operation. Poop is great for fertilzer.
