  1. Grass eaters are the most friendly/mild organic fertilizers as well as being the most quantity,

    the collective droppings from birds and bats(guano) in caves is very potent and very strong but needs to be mixed with something else such as saw dust or soil the same as chicken manure,which  is very acidic ,and needs 7 years to be perfect as fertilizer

    the best of all ,on top of the list is that what comes from worms this beats any organic or chemical fertilizer know to Man.

    and all you have to do to get this is to mulch and keep it moist,

    just ask the trees they have been making their own soil for billions of years and should know something.a tree in it own life time produces all it own soil by the leaves it discards.so we copy this and improve on it by putting even more organic waste on the ground .

    MULCH

    cut down the weeds before they produce seeds and leave them where they fall,they will cover the ground and put even more organic matter on top,you can use saw dust,leaves green or dry,and when you plant make a little space and plant in the mulch.this is the easiest quickest and by far most benificial way(for the quality of you soil)to prepare the land for planting

    the top part of the soil where the topsoil is being produced houses a world or microbiotic life.

    Mulch is organic material green or dry that covers the ground,the thicker the better the composting process will turn it in to black topsoil

    an exelent mulch is forgotten or old bales of whatever ,straw or hay or alphalfa

    the humidity is preserved underneath and promotes the devellopment of worms(their exists no better compost than their excrements)and a variety of micro biotic life which together with the mulch produce more topsoil.

    the mulch also keeps the ground temperature even and guards against the impact of the rain ,which would other wise brings salt to the surfave if on unprotected land

    Mulch also prevents the soil from drying out because of the sun and, lay it open to wind erosian.

    and it turn out the lights for any weeds that want to come up

    do not use chemicals because the water will wash them into the ground and if enough people did that, you would be guilty of helping to contaminate subteranean water suplies that other people could be pumping up to drink
