After all those years of gardening and composting and putting back what the plants have taken out in terms of nutrients, the Keller property has great soil. No doubt there were many items she missed. The garden is raised beds with cedar siding. The soil is amended each spring. We use Sweet Peet, a composted horse manure you can buy commercially.
Honeybees help with pollination.
