The Compost Heap News, Views, and Features from the Posh Squash Garden The Sea Ranch, California Summer 2003, Volume 2, Number 5 Steering Committee Report The Steering Committee met on the 19th, a fine July afternoon, under the cherry tree at the Garden. Present were Co-Chairs Tom Warnock and Mary Austin, plus Ken Holmes, Sally Skibbins, Jer Skibbins, Dianne Rasmussen, Ralph Rasmussen, Jim Grenwelge, John Horn, and your faithful scribe, Chester Case. Honored guest: Charles Shaw. Decision: major work party on Thursday, July 31, 2003. 10:00-1:00, followed by lunch. This time of year, a lot of clean-up and deferred work needs attention, so how about a work party and an al fresco lunch afterward? Yes. Master cooker Jim Grenwelge will bring his patented grill and whomp up the main course and generally coordinate the eats. Day Leaders will get a count of who can come, and tell their days what they are to bring to share. Bring gloves and beverage. Construction will begin on the Doris Buck Memorial using the donations received to date. About half of the necessary funds have been contributed. Day leaders will invite donations again. Mary Austin will glean previous rosters for potential contributors and contact them. Tom and Ken will email Gardeners. The time has arrived for the Garden to put in writing its organization, practices and policies. Tom distributed a preliminary concept paper on organization and asked Steering Committee members to critique it for discussion at the next meeting.

Chapter 4: Ginseng nutrition A s with all perennial horticultural crops, it is important to review the nutrition requirements of ginseng in order to ensure a thrifty, healthy plant is produced. First off, it should be noted that ginseng does not require a heavy annual dose of fertilizer. If a ginseng garden is situated on a silt loam soil, there will often be enough natural fertility to ensure good growth. Cultivation of ginseng is often compared to raising a vegetable garden. If the proposed planting site has grown a successful garden it will also grow some very productive ginseng. Soil fertility In its native environment wild ginseng is found on rich loose soils. Essential nutrients are derived from the natural decomposition of leaves and twigs that shade the ginseng plants. The soil colloids release essential elements to the foraging ginseng roots in small, metered amounts. Moderate foliage growth is in line with slow but steady root development. When ginseng is grown on land that has been cropped or has been in a grass pasture, the soil environment is quite different from that in the native deciduous forest where ginseng grows wild. The soil organic matter may have been reduced through tillage. Liming may have altered the soil pH. In order to understand why supplemental fertilizer applications on cultivated ginseng are needed, we first must review the major and minor elements required for ginseng growth. Essential elements The major soil elements required for ginseng growth include nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K). These are the elements that will have the greatest effect on plant growth. These are also the elements that make up the bulk of fertilizer material. Each element needs to be understood as to how it will effect plant growth and development.

Mix an inch or two of compost, plus balanced organic fertilizer such as Whitney Farms All-Purpose Organic Fertilizer into the top six inches of a raised bed or planter. This is a good time to lime acid soils. Sow seeds densely. Scatter seeds over the entire surface of a raised bad or planter so that there is about one seed per square inch. Cover the seeds with 1/4" sifted compost or Whitney Farms Seed Starting Mix. OR, sow one seed per inch of row in furrows spaced 2 to 6 inches apart. Harvest Tender Leaves Thin (and eat) seedlings to 2" spacing. As plants grow crowded, harvest outside leaves as needed. OR, use a scissors to "mow" patches of greens. Continue to harvest this way as long as plants are sweet tasting and productive. To keep greens sweet and succulent, fertilize with a liquid fertilizer such as

EM 8375-e Reprinted July 1992 Conserving Water In The Garden Growing a Vegetable Garden R.A. McNeilan If you want to print this publication, we recommend downloading the PDF version. Even in times of a water shortage, you can grow a vegetable garden if you use special water-efficient practices. You might also consider some of these practices if your area's water is normally in short supply or expensiveor both. Flat is best For efficient water conservation, prepare a soil surface for maximum water penetration. This means planting in a flat surface instead of any combination of raised mounds, beds, or ditches. The "hill" referred to on a seed packet usually means a grouping of seeds rather than a raised area. A raised area, once it has dried, is very difficult to wet again. Water runs away from the root zone of the plant and is wasted. Using fertilizers Managing soil tilth to include additional organic matter will promote water penetration and retention. Organic material can include plant residue from garden plants, leaves, straw, manure, sawdust, bark, etc. Apply these additions annually. Adequate fertility levels will help produce crops that require limited water. A fertilizer such as 5-10-10 at the rate of

Spring 1999, Volume 16.3 ESSAY Tim Gilmer The Soil Inside Us Tim Gilmer graduated from UCLA and received a master's degree from Southern Oregon State College. He lives near Portland, where he farms, writes, and teaches writing at Clackamas Community College. He is the recipient of an Oregon Literary Fellowship in literary nonfiction and has published fiction, essays, and articles in Writers' Forum, The Oregonian, and New Mobility magazine. At the age of twentynine, I finally left the San Joaquin Valley and moved north to Oregon, to a land where crops in blocks of tens of thousands of acres no longer dominated the landscape. From a jet you could look down and see the true character of the land. Rivers, fed by creeks and streams which carved the ground into unusual shapes, flowed down from mountains. Gone was the checkerboard quilt of greens, yellows, and browns that covered the valley floor of California. Oregon land west of the Cascades resembled a jigsaw puzzle, the kind where fine variations in green make it difficult to distinguish one piece from another. East of the Cascades was dry and vast by comparison. I settled first in the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, west of the Cascades, and the first thing I did after unpacking my things was plop down in the brownishred soil outside my rural apartment and work my hands in the dirt. It was April of 1974, time to get my first garden going. I scooted around on my butt, childlike, digging with a shorthandled shovel, breaking up clods with my bare hands. Days later I had fashioned a gardensized farm, complete with beds, furrows, and irrigation ditches.
