Please Help! I would appreciate suggestions. My garden is 3 years old. The first year we killed the grass with a tarp and had a wonderful harvest. The second year, we tilled, planted and added wood chips. Again an even better harvest with less weeding of grasses. The 3rd year we added more wood chips, anywhere from 2 - 6 inches. We pulled back the chips, filled with compost and planted. We have clay under a the topsoil. My plants seemed stunted. Small plants, little or no vegetables, yellow leaves and lots of bug problems. Potatoes are awesome. Now later in the season, the swiss chard along with any plants still performing, seem to be doing a lot better. I'm thinking of spreading blood meal over the whole garden at the end of the season. Is there more I should do? Have I killed my garden?
Thanks for your help.
