In addition to all the great ideas previously mentioned. If there happens to be a brewery around you there's always spent grain. Grab a beer or 12 and a few bucketfuls of spent grain. Or fill a truck bed and let them sort through it as a compost pile.

My climate is not the best for corn so just the fact that I got some made it a success in my book. The pumpkins went crazy and had to be cut back a few times, and I got more zuccs than I handle. The little one had plenty of zucc bread that year. The beans did well on the eastern side but for some reason only on that sid . I did the tepees last year and they worked better. I also did squash stand alone last year. I think when they had all that stuff to climb on they were more vigorous, but I got plenty both years. She loves pumpkin bread too.

Welcome to the wonderful crazy world of HumCo. I moved here from dirty jers 17 years ago for school and never looked back. Although not a a sexy surfer, artist, self-proclaimed hippy, or lumberjack I do garden a bit. I'm a single father and I'm not really looking for a relationship but I'm not not looking either. I'm totally down with meeting and making friends with like minded people.

This is my backyard. I put in one mound last year and then 2 more a month or so ago.
