no lime here. I was told to keep lime out of the gardens,--have no idea why anybody thinks that but I never use it anyway. Fertilizer is horse poo spread on thick and plowed under deep. I stockpile it during the summer and spread it after garden harvest.
I subsoil 36" deep and fall plow 18" deep, or close to it, and till in the spring.
Triple 10 or 12 is good but got too high to use so I quit on it.
Normally a high percentage of the onions will weigh 1 to 2 pounds each. This year not going to get close to that. I cant carry enough water to keep everything going.
