Comments (7)I can't thank everyone enough for the trades - I have almost all the plants I lost last year! Of course our plight was very minor compared to many others. Family and critters are doing well and "things" can be replaced. Sorry, the water lettuce is gone for now, but I still have frogbit, duckweed, and umbrella palm. Still hoping for small pieces of zebra rush, sweet flag, gamecock iris, and dwarf bamboo. (I can dream, can't I?)...See MoreLettuce seeds or weeds seeds ?
Comments (3)I learned long ago that you really need to plant this stuff in rows about 2" wide and than have 6" to 8" between the rows so you can get 3 to 4 rows in a 4' wide bed. The rows need to be far enough apart to easily get a hoe in there so that weeding does not consume hours of your day trying to keep the salad bed clean (and they do need to be clean, especially if selling to chefs). Plus I have found that most of the greens do better with some space on either side. When I have done dense planting I always seem to have portions damp off, leaving holes in the bed and a place for weeds to take hold....See MoreDo worm castings work for all types of plants?
Comments (1)I use worm castings on all of my plants: veggies, perennials, shrubs, trees, lawn, house plants, even my indoor catci. They all seem to benefit. While it is always possible to overdo something, most plants would enjoy as much worm poop as you have to give them. If you are talking about an outdoor garden where you have mixed the castings into the soil, then you probably have not applied too much. Castings are very water soluble and will wash away fairly quickly, IME. I like to mix them with water to apply as a spoil drench in light doses over the season and use regular compost as a soil amendment to dig into my beds, but I don't think you have done anything wrong. Your plants are all going to want the same garden loam with plenty of organic material (again, regular compost) except the blueberries, which require acidic soil to do well. Not sure where you are located, but if you are in SF, watermelons will want a hotter climate. Good luck!...See MoreHU-480765906
