Started new season

So 4 plants went into containers but are in hoophouse. 9 plants were planted into cold frame on south side of the house. Appear totally fine by today. 3 plants went into WOW as a trial. I covered  my raised beds with landscape fabric and it seems to attract heat a bit better so soil temps are not too bad. Am also using partially worked compost which I started last year in the pile as opposed to just brining fresh manure and bags of leaves right into beds.
Big movement going on about adding mycrorrhiza and glacial rock dust, check, added. Also getting kelp in as well.  Earthworm compost check. Bat guano, check.  Organic garden Store near us on Skokie Bld has some cool stuff. I  think if soil is richer in nutriens it will absorb into maters. There must be something with all the food now being different than years ago even if organically grown. Because I just can´t remember anyone having issues with gluten as people have now and all these allergies that kids now have are just frightening.
