Tomatoes in pots, was rec.gardens.organic,...... etc.
Charlie wrote in message ... rec.gardens.organic No activity. Needs some posts, or x-posts, or some kind of utilization. Waste of a perfectly good empty lot....needs a community garden....or some squatters. ;-) Here ya go...... Bought some tomato plants a couple of days ago and a few weeks late. The Fall tomatoes I planted in August still had a few edible ones. The plan was to plant again in whatever I could screen out of the compost/leaf mould pile, but the new one is in an awkward place to turn to get to the good stuff on the bottom. After emptying the pots, I looked at the still incredible soil and wondered about the conventional wisdom of not re-planting in the same stuff. Were nutrients depleted? Would diseases appear? One way to find out...... So, taking the easy way out, I put the stuff back in the pots and planted away. I figure I'll make a batch of compost tea to re-innoculate anything that's missing, and feed with the egg shell/banana peel/molasses slurry that I use as a good luck potion and see how it goes...... |
