Another reader soil-building tip
This one from Lee Fielder:
Alfalfa pellets! Mix them into the soil when you till it. Adds nutrients, loosens the soil, and turns it into earthworm paradise. I used it with my daylilies first, and in 1 year had plants that looked like they had been there 3. I now use it in all of my beds, flower and vegetable, with great results.

I have tried alfalfa pellets but I must say that they don't work quite as well as owl pellets. My Grandfather used owl pellets exclusively and he was the annual winner of Ionia County, MI biggest pumpkin award for 16 years in a row. He believed that it was the rodentia bones and leftover pieces that made the pumpkins so huge. He also told a story about this time that he almost died in the war.
