Looking for ideas/recipe for potting mix, large scale
Comments (4)Hi Rhizome, here's my advice: GET THEE TO A TRADE SHOW, as soon as possible. Perhaps you were able to attend the PANTs show last week in Phily. At these shows you will meet suppliers and compare prices and get the best deal. Also become active in your state's Nursery Association, meet other container growers, make alot of visits and ask alot of questions. In my area we use pine bark amended with slow release to include trace elements. Ground limestone also depending on what species. In Spring we also include top dressing of slow release plus fertigation. I do not regard the link for container soils as appropriate for you, that looks more like a gardening mix. In my area no commercial grower has used perlite for his tree soil mix in 30 years. Our local supplier sells 4CuFt perlite/$11.34 maybe thats why. Its gonna be amazing how quickly those 15 gal cans swallow up the soil. I highly recommend that you set the plants down so they don't have to be moved again until shipment. I'm curious, sounds like you won the bid for a large contract right? Do you have the manpower and equipment to mix this volume of soil? Are you going to use trickle? How are you going to overwinter?...See MoreLarge scale vermicomposting
Comments (13)There appears to be no way in which a long time poster can be successful in dealing with the vagarities of the first time poster. I would advise to simply ignore them except then they complain we are elitest and ignore then. I would say we give them a brief response and they complain we do not reply in enough detail to their plight. I would say we give them a detail response and they complain we are over satuating them with information. I would say we give them just the facts mamm and still not happy. Some new posters say we are bad if we do not immediately reply with exacting, specific explanations, well researched in their exact topic. Then when given, never reply. Some reply once given great answers whoah nelly, I do not want all that information just a simply answer. At some point in a discussion similar to this pskvorc said something like (and I might have this wrong) only answer if your want to answer. Perhaps the board should have ignored your post. Obviously I should have not taken any time answering it. Feel free to move on. Luckily any replies one posts are useful to those smart enough to research the archives for answers. That is what the smart people do on any forum they are interested in before posting questions. Mostly they read at least 7 questions so they can improve their odds at asking a question worthy of someone taking their time to reply. Some posters are more worth taking ones time to reply to than others. I regret I have not yet learned the obvious difference. This error will not happen again. P.S. Just add more bedding. It solves a myriad of issues....See MoreLarge scale turkey litter composting?
Comments (14)It does improve the soil a lot to spread in the off season (especially in this area because we have very sandy soil) but a lot of people want it spread on freshly planted hay. The nitrogen really makes it jump. I do spread some during the winter but nowhere close to what I do in the spring and summer. So I stockpile a lot in the winter. I had one guy ask me to spread it on concrete where a factory had been torn down. We put about a 4" to 5" layer on it over the winter and he planted Bermuda hay on it the following spring. We turned a giant concrete pad into a beautiful hay field....See MoreCorrect Depth for a recessed area for large scale art
Comments (11)I’m glad you mentioned that! I probably wouldn’t have thought of it until after the fact! So, the can light in the ceiling for the art- should be within the recessed depth.....Am I understanding correctly? *Adjustable Eye & be 4” instead of the 6 inch cans I have throughout my ceiling My MOST urgent question! is how much should I furr out this recessed area? Currently it’s too deep & looks odd. I am thinking of making that area much shallower maybe 12” 18” 20” ? More I think about it , more I’m decided To not put a bench there-the one I had in there temporarily just ended up collecting stuff and no one ever sat on it- I have art that will fit width-wise into that space that range in height 7’3” , 5’9”, 5’6” to 3’5” all between 3 to 4’ wide I do plan to use a painting with a lot of strength for that spot- but again it’s a painting and not a sculpture so I don’t need it to be extra deep. * I should’ve married an architect!!!!...See MoreNothing Left to Say
