Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

I everyone. Am new to group too. Reading Dolly's post - from LaPorte, IN---I'm originally from LaPorte too! Well really, Rolling Prairie! Went to New Prairie High School! Now living in Texas, raising 9 llamas, 2 donkeys, 2 dogs. Have lots of organic llama/donkey manure that I am using in my yard!

Looking to get lots of good gardening info here! Tried vegetable gardening last year, no luck. What didn't get eaten by critters, got fried because of the heat. So just doing flower gardening now for the time being.

And they are rated the same way as the Petro chemical fertilizers are. So and all purpose fertilizer means that the amounts of the NPK are equal like N 10 - P 10 - K 10
