Being fairly new to Florida, I started my garden with fruit trees, since they take so long to produce: things I could only dream about up north. There are a couple dozen now, and I have so far enjoyed passion fruit, bananas, guava, carambola, and just got through a great season with the black sapote aka chocolate pudding fruit. Yum! After the big garden parts were done, I turned to the tiny stuff, with probiotic milk kefir, water kefir, and Fil Mjölk (a Swedish yogurt-like culture that sets at room temperature–no incubator). I kept putting off a vegetable garden because those nematodes always wreaked havoc on any vegetables that came up. Now that I’ve cleared a new sunny spot, I’ll try your layered soil enrichment program in raised beds, and hope for the best. It was great to hear your experiences. Thanks for the inspiration just when I needed it.
