reason I ask this stupid question is that I will have to grow it on the
slope. And I know, that organic matter leeches out very fast. Any ideas? JoeSpareBedroom wrote: "Mark" wrote in message ups.com... Is it more efficient to grow vegetables in containers or right in the ground? In the ground, if you have a choice. |

unlike the sand, clay or silt of dirt, organic matter is water soluble. Ingrid

I do have created terraces. problem is that organic matter leaches thru the ground and walls and dissapeear very fast because it is a slope We replace the organic matter twice a year. We till in home made compost with some woodash from the woodstove in early spring. We do it again in fall. In spring we also till in composted cow manure, blood and bone meal and Ironite from the store along with the compost we make ourselves. We use almost no commercial fertilizer. We mulch everything with a less advanced, coarser compost. |

In ground growing is almost always better if the soil is good. You
will use less fertilizer and water. Growing in ground can expose your plants to soil borne pathogens and pests, but in most cases these can be controlled in a garden setting.
