poor plant growth...San Antonio
Planted several things in MiracleGro potting soil. My sunflowers got a
whopping 18". My indian corn got maybe 24". My squash got 10". My Four O'Clocks are about 8 or 10". Bought a start of Sea Holly - it's about 5". Most had a sickly pale green/yellowish color. What is going on? In Oregon I just planted those things in the sandy soil, never fertilized, just watered. The sunflowers were 6 or 7 feet tall, the indian corn got about the same, my Four O'Clocks were about 3' and bushy....well, you get the idea. Why is nothing growing well here? Is there something I should have been doing? Oh, and the poor tomato plant...too sad to tell! I thought the store-bought potting soil would be the right thing to use. Advice? |

You don't say how you prepared your planting area. Did you just work the
potting soil in or are you working with containers. Depending on where you are in San Antonio, you probably don't have very good soil to begin with unless you are on the South side of town. Any other area will need a whole lot more than a couple bags of potting soil. Again depending on your particular area you may need to resort to raised beds to be successful. Building a bed and then bringing in prepared soil from one of the commercial companies like Gardenville or Fertile Gardens. If you don't want to do that then you need to use a lot of compost in your planting area, work it in and repeat every year for a couple of years. The more the better, you can't have too much compost. I would also recommend the use of Medina's Soil Activator, Texas green sand-it is an iron supplement, a good organic fertilizer, Medina has one, Texas Tea, Greensense (if you shop the military stores). Regular use of Hasta Grow. No Miracle grow. Lots of mulch and a lot of water. Maybe you have not given your plants enough water. If you dig down a bit you may find that the soil is powder dry, that's what I find and I own about 90% of SAWS. We have only had 6" of rain in the last 6 months the sub soil is dry. I have some fire bush the have been in the ground several years that in a "normal" year would get 6-7 feet tall are only 3 feet tall this year because of the lack of water. If you are interested in learning more about the local area and it's gardening problems and solutions check out http://www.gardeningvolunteers.org/ and give a listen to Bob Webster on AM 550 every Sat and Sun.

Thanks for your response. I'm sorry I was not more specific. All those
things were planted in large pots - nothing but Miracle Gro potting soil. Pretty sure I kept things watered enough. Thank you for all your instructions on how to prepare flower beds here. The soil here (northeast San Antonio) is more like rock! Yucky beige/tan hard clay-like stuff. I don't know how the stuff that passes for grass hereabouts grows in it ;-) Later in your response you said NOT to use Miracle Gro fertilizer? Isn't it the good stuff? Or is that just the publicity hype? Thanks again. |

Catbird et al -
I also have noticed the condescending tone of some of Victor Martinez' posts over the years. It always disappoints me because I feel it throws a wet blanket on the generous give and take of this forum. It makes newbies afraid to ask questions for fear of being ridiculed. Gardening in Central Texas is unlike gardening in any other part of the country, and it takes specific information to succeed, but I admit that at times, the sometimes belittling responses from this poster has deterred me from participating. Invariably, when somebody (like you) calls him on it, he responds defensively, and he continues with more of the same. Being from the remote north, I struggle with trying to keep plants alive through the heat and hail and frost and crappy soil that is Central Texas. And thankfully, snotty superiority is not typical of gardeners, who are for the most part very kind, generous and helpful to all. "Catbird" wrote in message ... "Victor Martinez" wrote in message ...

Well, I have to disagree. I have always found Victor to be helpful, if
a bit terse at times. Remember that this is the internet and you are not in front of someone. Bad day at work, but just wanted to make sure he got you the info, or whatever. Any number of reasons for a short reply. His information is always well seasoned if a bit peppery for your taste. Remember that this is Texas and we like a bit of heat. :-) Welcome to Texas ya'll, we don't hate Yankees, but sometimes we have a little fun with them. Settle down and enjoy the heat and you'll probably find that we don't bite, but we might bark. Actually a pretty friendly place.

Well, Mr. Martinez, I have to admit you hurt my feelings. I thought it I apologize for that. My tone was indeed abrupt and I neglected to take your feelings into consideration. experts to visit with each other, I'll butt out and stay gone. I am not an expert and don't want to be one. I just want to be able to play with my plants and see them succeed. Most of us are not experts, but rather amateurs always looking to exchange information with like-minded individuals. as well as the spaced out plants. Maybe that won't work here. The things I had planted in pots up there were in Miracle Grow potting soil and did fine. Again, maybe that won't work well here. Lesson learned. Miracle Grow is a medium loaded with artificial/synthetic additives. You will find that many, if not most of the regulars here, practice a more natural approach to gardening, avoiding all kinds of artificial stuff and favoring the use of natural fertilizers. Which is what prompted my contemptuous remark, which I again apologize for. So, in a nutshell, the information I tried to convey in my original response is: 1. Growing corn and sunflowers in pots is not really practical. 2. Miracle Gro is not something I recommend or would ever use. Cheers.
