This is our 2nd year at growing. We are growing in the same spot but we dug out the soil and put it in our compost pile, mixed it all up and then refilled the raised boxes. We have horses, alpaca and chickens so our compost pile has a mix of poo this year. Thought we'd add a bit of steer manure to it as well just to see how the plants do.

Same as what VT and Sparky said here. @ 8th year same spot too! Keep in mind LG's send out very very long roots! They have been recorded as long as 20-30 ft!
