My grandfather has a HUGE garden on the acreage behind their house. It took him several years to get the soil to be really fertile. He brought in a LOT of horse manure. For some reason horse manure is better than cow manure. He raised earthworms just for the castings and to help with compost. After 8 or 9 years the ground was so rich all he had to do was throw down a seed and jump back. He raised corn that was just like the title song in the play "Oklahoma!" and he had "corn as high as a elephant's eye"
When his health got to the point he could not maintain that garden they sold the place and moved in closer to town. The developers flattened everything and put a big warehouse on the property.
