RE: How not to fertilize

in #garden7 years ago

Bio Char or charcoal mixed into the soil will help holding moisture and reduce your need for fertilizer. Looks like you could use a large amount of mulch, shredded leaves, and other organic matter to boost your soil. But then again it's hard to grow in hundred plus temperatures.

Thank you for your advice. I have put wood ash in the soil, during the winter we save the ashes from the fireplace and mix that in. When the fall come, raked up leaves are buried under the soil. I haven't introduced any mulch though. I was thinking of shading the beds with a tarp but I was too lazy in the spring. When we had the heatwave, my excuse changed to it's too hot. But I will incorporate your ideas. Thanks again.

What are the chances that plant is a dark red or purple tomato? Did you plant any exotic tomato plants this year?

No, I just planted romas, beafeaters and cherry tomatoes. I'm not sure what it is. The fruit seems small for any type of tomato but it could be. Thank for you response.

Just resteem this one, maybe someone will see that plant and be able to answer.

Thank you. I hope to find out what it is.
