It's pushing 60 years.. House was built in the late 30's. We've always had a huge garden at my grandmas.

 

[IceMann]

I replenish every year with the black gold from the monteray plant, best stuff i every used on a garden..

 

[TX300mag]

10 years-every year since we bought the place.

My granddaddy's is going on 81 years I guess.

 

[GRAMPS]

Thirty-four years for wife and I. We have added plenty of horse biscuits and cow poo over the years along with tilling in ground-up leaves. My soil is richer now than when we first started.

Mine is 5 yrs in the current spot, I add a small box trailer load of mixed manure from a local gal, she raises goats, sheep, cows, a pony, and a lama. Community pile.

I get a couple tractor bucket loads in the spring, till it in and let is set two weeks before planting, at the end of the season I dump and spread a 3-4 inch layer of the stuff on top and let the winter do its business with it.

Black gold for sure

We use everything from horse to pig manure. Pig is actually better for flowers, and shrubs. But it does good on okra and beans.

same spot on the side of the house for 3 years, also out in a community garden for the first time this year...I don't like amendments that much other than some mulch to help keep out weeds. The native soil in our area does a fine job and no fert is needed.

Same here.

About 15 years.

But I was replenishing nutrients with poultry manure and rabbit manure plus for a while I'd rotate areas and sometime skip a year bout every three years.
