Is everyone using living soil except me? Nice looking garden
Thanks! This is my second run in the big bed and it is markedly easier to keep them happy in big soil compared to the 5 gal pots i got from my neighbor when i started out
Can you expand on why it is easier? Maybe one day I’ll try it as I love the look of everyone’s plants I see using it
Basically the large soil volume gives you all the nutrients you need up front, the cover crop holds in moisture and fixes nitrogen into the soil and the bugs cycle the cover crop back into nutrients when you cut it and drop it. When you add nutrients, you basically just drop some compost near the root mass and water it in, and again the volume of the soil means that it's really difficult to overfeed. It's also easier to keep the soil moisture more stable with that much dirt, compared to daily or multi-daily watering in a 3 gallon fabric pot.
I highly recommend the Build-a-soil youtube channel just don't let him sell you too many potions because you can get kind of crazy with all that shit.
Thanks for taking the time to explain all of this!
Looking good. Plant at the back looks like it might need more nutrients, as its a little yellow. Either that or ph is slightly off would be my guesses.
The crop looks decent!!
Edit: I say that about the back plant, but since all the newer smaller leaves look fine, i guess you already solved whatever was up?
Yeah not sure what her problem is. I've been letting it dry out pretty good especially around the holidays so i'm hoping that was it or senescence...
