In my soil mix wood chips would not work. I use sawdust and sand. As water and feed the plants the nutrients they need they give back to the soil and provide a great living space for microlife.
Thank you for asking. The day you transplant starts into the garden give them a side dressing of just Nitrogen, at 1/4 oz per linear foot. Then 3 days later start them on a weekly application of weekly feed as outlined on the package instructions.
Grasshoppers are everywhere. They over wintered in my greenhouse. At the first sign of them I sprinkled food grade diatomaceous earth on my plants and that took care of them. Give it a try. It always works for me.
We are getting a lot of rain in New Hampshire. I have your fertilizer mix and I was wondering if I should fertilize the outdoor plants more often because of all the rain. Thank you.
Thank you for your purchase, much appreciated. Keep an eye on how your plants look. If they are showing signs of nutrient deficiencies then give them an extra application. Usually the first sign of nutrient deficiencies caused by too much water is yellowing of all the leaves on the plant. Best of success to you.
