Hey guys, I had some poor germination with my cucumbers, so I want to share what I think happened. I also show you how I'm fertilizing my cucumbers with steeped manure. Thanks for watching.
I heard "add liquid nitrogen to your plants" and was ... what?? Oh, plants. Okay. Much different from where I thought you were going. LOL! Manure tea is a much easier thing to get ahold of than what you might keep in a well-insulated thermos in the lab. Yeah, I'm replanting a lot - some things are going in for the first time because conditions have not been good. It's a weird year. I'm planting a lot of "new", non-enhanced areas this year. It's been a mixed bag - the strawberries did better than I expected but my bush beans look pitiful. We'll see how well they set.
I think the liquid nitrogen you were thinking of probably isn't good for plants, lol. It has been a very strange year so far , I got a lot of things in late and couldn't plant peas at all because of the rain, now it's in the 90's and no rain. I guess we'll see what happens at harvest. Good to hear from you again.
I have a really hard time in most of my in ground beds. Even mounding my beds up works better then regular inground gardening. Clay is hard to work with uggg.
You got that right. It's a challenge, but it's also a lot of fun. So far, this is the best way I've found to grow zucchini and pumpkins. I hope your garden is doing great. Thanks for sharing.
