I'm a MN native and the growing conditions there are ALOT diff then here.
I've been working on improving my soil for the last 3 yrs. We have tons of clay and rocks, so its been a long process. I'm hoping with the help of my chickens it will improve a ton by next growing season
Last yr we had tons of issues with powder mold, grasshoppers, the heat frying my plants (out of 11 tomato plants i think i got maybe 12 cups of tomatoes to freeze) and just an overall measly crop of everything.
I know it was partially due to the soil not being up to par, and i'm sure the heat had an effect (it was HOT) but does anyone have any tips for out here?
I'm in Northern CO and our altitude is about 3,600ft
