You can add fertilizer like miracle grow if needed . Mine should not need much . Over the years I haul leaves each fall to my goat barn and use it when I clean out , Poultry litter ( try to find ones using rice hulls in houses over Pine shavings ) , Cow or Horse manure , and lots of fish .
Since that photo some of my Tomatoe plants are topping those 5' concrete wire cages already .

Great idea with the buckets! Definitely stealing your idea!

Nimrod,
May be a dumb question, but how do you work in fish scraps& guts( I presume). Only in non growing season( or in other words before planting of veg in given spot), or do you mix it in soil while growing the veggies? I presume you selectively add fish waste to small areas that are fallow? Thank you halibut4me.

Nimrod, did you get any rain last night? We had a heavy rain and small hail storm come thru and dump about an inch and a half.

I bury at random in off season . Sometimes I bury them between planted rows .
