Here is my attempt at producing as much food as possible in my back garden at home in Scotland. Being self sufficient would be a lot harder than I originally thought. I’m hoping to get some chickens soon though
Try and spot these:
Potatoes, gooseberries, peas, cabbage and cauliflower, onions, kale, beetroot, raspberries, strawberries, blackcurrant, Ollie the dog! tomatoes and lettuce.

I recently purchased some organic compost not realizing that it was inorganic compost that I really wanted. So when I got home I mixed the organic compost I had just purchased with the inorganic compost i had layed out a week before. So my question was, what will happen when these two types of compost are mixed? Is my soil ruined because of this careless mistake or can I still salvage my soil? The reason I started with the inorganic compost was because I live in the Southwestern part of Texas where the soil is clay like and I was advised to use the inorganic type to soften the soil. Any suggestions out there or any similar issues any one has encountered?
Any type of soil can be improved with the addition of organic matter, unless you are one of the few who have perfect soil. The organic will rot and add water retaining humus to your soil, the inorganic will not rot and serve to help aerate. If you have clay soil, you NEED to add organic matter, period. Sand also helps as a cheap inorganic. One question…..compost is rotting ORGANIC material. I have never heard of inorganic COMPOST.
