Ok so I just added compost manure to the garden for when i plant the rest of my fall vegetables. Can I plant them in the soil the same week that I added my compost? will the compost harm them or should I wait a little while before planting them?
As long as you have worked the compost into your soil, there is no reason to delay planting.

Folks.....there is some bad news out there. Check out on YouTube "What in the World Are They Spraying?" Or...."Look Up".
We are being bombarded by "Chemtrails" (Geo-Engineering") which is making our souls turn alkaline. I have lost almost all my valley Locust Trees, the Oregon Grape isn't happy and don't know why the Pines are dying. Nobody hardly knows. Look into it......we have to stop this! Planes fly over leaving white stripes that spread out and cover our skies.....leaving aluminum, barium and strontium (reports even of flouride) in out soil and water. Spread the word, tell your government to STOP!! Its global.....sinister. They say its for Global warming, but it actually keeps the heat at night like a blanket. Monsanto has applied for a patent of Aluminum and Drought resistant seeds. They are manipulating the weather! Sorry for the bad news.....
Thank you for the post! Yet another worry. I have walked through patches of clover, planted organic comphrey and herbs which flower heavily all summer AND NOT ONE HONEY BEE! Only a few bumble bees...and no wasps, either. Three years ago there were handfuls of them. When I was a kid, the clover was alive with honey bees. If everyone could just take a second and notice what is happening. Something is terribly wrong right now.
Bees are affected by climate change and chemicals sprayed onto crops and plants in our gardens. Only solution is go go "organic" by using natural compost to enrich the soil and natural products to deter bugs and pests, such as marigolds or garlic around rose bushes to deter aphids, and other companion planting. We need to treat our planet with respect or it will die - and us along with it.
I agree Jan about treating our planet with respect. I care for a 3 acre floral garden. I use very little chemical in the gardens. Only when needed, I have volunteers that help me weed by hand and only when the boss pushes for spraying do I do it carefully and limited mostly to walkways. We use peat, pine fines and buy compost from a local nursery.
The absolute keys to attracting pollinators is to plant the right plants. We have so many butterflies, bees, wasps, birds, and little critters. When I'm in the gardens I don't feel like there is a problem in the world.
I'm not a big believer in climate change, I've been around long enough to see we have cycles and some of the endangered creatures are returning. I try to judge by this method. I could be proven wrong one day but for now this is what I see.
sorry for the typos and the news....SOILS are turning alkaline. Let me know if anyone is aware of this! Our young black locust trees are all dead in ONE YEAR.... not one leaf. And the older ones barely have any leaves and they have been here for many many years, always healthy. Bumbles bees have been coming here for over 20 years. I did research and Black Locusts are highly sensitive to ALUMINUM! Greenhouses are now a very good idea....I just hope the Pines aren't dying from this too. They like acid soils....???? This is here in NE Washington.
hi ther have done a ph test to my soil an its come back at 7.0 an other places on the plot are 6.5 i have some veg that is between 6.0 an 7.0 wich area would i be best to plant them in higher end of plants ph or the lower end of ther ph for the best yield
In Oct. I placed my own composit on my Raspberry plants. Then in Nov, spread some pine needles on the bed. I have some Manure in a bag from the store. Would it be safe to spread a little of that also? I have had a decrease in my rasp. production in the last few years so I have been trying to figure out what the cause is. I would appreciate any help. Also how can I have the soil tested?
