My garden is doing good. Thank you for the mental health advice.
One of my tomato plants fucking died. I wish gardening took longer. I wish I could spend hours here in nature. But no money.
How do you cheaply add more to the garden?

Manure is great, going to provide more nitrogen than just leaves alone. I dont mess with ash, people usually use it to raise the pH of acidic soil and I dont have to worry about that where I live.
What is always super beneficial though is charcoal, before it turns to ash. Charcoal is extremely porous on a microscopic level and provides a good home to beneficial bacteria. Just crush it up fine and mix it into the soil.
I didnt know charcoal was activated at a certain temperature, I thought it was by adding an acid like lemon juice. I probably wouldnt bother with that process unless I was using it to filter drinking water.
