Hi Miles,
I'm located in tucson, az zone 9.
I'm aware that I need to start building my soil. I've started to add all my green waste to a small pile, that has been building up to somewhat of a compost pile.
I've stopped pulling my "weeds" from the ground an have just even chopping them and dropping them.
I've also started watering from my 90 gallon, and 75 gallon cichlid aquariums when I do water changes.
I have another post that I'm waiting for a response on as to whether chop and drop from my african sumac would be detrimental due to whatever oil they may contain.
Thanks for your input!
