We rarely (as in once every 10 years or so) purchase fertilizer or amendments for our gardens.
We don’t need to do this. We’re fortunate that nature provides everything we need.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I prep the vegetable gardens in the Fall/Autumn.
The first layer is a sprinkle of crushed eggshells. This goes on the bottom of the prep lasagne as to ensure it doesn’t attract Rocky the Raccoon or other critters. Eggshells are a long term investment. They take a while to break down. But we plan to have a garden for a long while so we’re okay with waiting. (smiles)
The next layer is compost made from kitchen scraps, coffee grounds, leaves and other yard waste.
Then we add a knee deep layer of leaves. Leaves are super rich in minerals and nutrients. They are GOLD for the garden and are the main reason why we don’t need additional fertilizer or amendments. We wet the leaves and we place large sticks on top of the beds to keep the leaves in place.
The final layer consists of coffee grounds we obtain from nearby coffee shops.
That’s it! (smiles)
The garden beds ‘rest’ all winter. They are covered with snow, are rained on, dried out, frozen, thawed.
And by spring, the leaves have turned into a layer of mulch, the coffee grounds and compost are neutralized and the beds are ready to plant in!

A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.
***
Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.
There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.
Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.
The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.
But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.
Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.
He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.
His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.
Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.
But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.
Cure has an assignment to complete.
If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.
