Time to prepare greenhouse for winter planting. Added leaf mold and horse manure plus some clay. John island soil is pure sand
Do you know the jar method for testing your #soiltexture? Get a sample of the top 8" of your soil. Mix it up and fill a straight-sided jar about 1/3 full with your soil. Add water and shake it up. The sand layer will settle in about 1 minute, silt in 1 hour, and clay in one day. Measure the height of each layer to calculate the percentage of each soil type. I am #sandyloam (~65% sand, 30% silt, <5% clay/organic, and interested in meeting others dealing with related issues: #nutrientdeficientsoil due to #welldrainedsoil, but I could imagine that others could create hashtags for their own soil texture categories.

I had a bad crop this year and I want to plant something in December but I want to make sure I don't have any problems or bad crop. I started a edible garden at my school this year. The students are excited but, I want to be able to have a great winter season for my students. Anyone in the New Orleans area have any tips or time to come out please do so I would love the advice and help.
John Ehrling What are you hoping to grow?
Waylon The Indoor Farmer I am also interested in the types of edible plants you are growing. I am a little far away to help though.
