Hi carminator 1. Your question didn't sound stupid at all and I was basically trying with my last post to make sure no-one misunderstood what I do and why I do it. As I indicated doing what I do with chemical fertilizer would be a total disaster. I basically go on the premise that last year's fertilizer has been pretty much consumed and add the same amount each year. As far as dolomite goes I add the 2 cups for at least 2 seasons and if I am using the same soil for a 3rd season I tend to add 1 cup dolomite and 1 cup pelletized gypsum. Gypsum supplies calcium without raising pH. Post some pics, I'd love to see them. I took a pic of my Buttercrunch EB before picking some today and put it here. My wife made me a salad of the Buttercrunch along with Radicchio and Belgian Endive in a balsamic vinegarette and I really enjoyed it. I think the Romaine will be ready by the end of next week so I should have 3 free EB's in a couple of weeks to start some basil and zucchini.
