It's very early for me to be posting this, but I've finished with all garden additions for the year that will be recorded on the chart. There's still a modest amount of calcitic lime to be applied in October when the plants are removed, but that won't supply any of the major nutrients and won't be placed on the chart.
The corn meal in late August was to fight alternaria blight, and it worked very well. Although I lost wide swatches of zinnia, I had plenty of surviving volunteers to replant the open areas. Those new zinnia are now starting to blossom.
Overall, levels of organic feeding rose this year, not quite doubling last year's totals. I find that the garden does better when fed a bit more heavily.
N, P, K, iron, and organics are the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and organic mass per thousand square feet, in pounds. The notes indicate what was used, except for the total line, where it tells you the total organic poundage used through the garden that year.
