Trying something a little new. About 400 lbs of leaves added. Not expecting much nutrients from them. The other half will get rotting hay. The hay smelled like ammonia so I think it's got the right amount of nitrogen already, but I spread ammonium sulfate on the leaves. I want to add alfalfa also. I'm going to try to keep phosphorous low because I've ready how harmful it is to the mycorrhizae (so not going to use chicken manure.)

Ammonium sulfate, dolomite lime, and alfalfa plus the hay and leaves, will get me close to where I want to be, I think.
