Pictures can only tell part of the story so from the start i wasn expectin an answer that would be a 100% fix to all my problems but you blokes on here have helluva lot more experience then i do, i never thought it would be a defiency of any sort.
As for the metal pot, its not a pot of any type its only a ring bout 150mm i made up to stop the mulch from blowing away in the wind an they have only been on there for the last month think it was beernutz that suggested top dressin with cow manure then add layer of mulch over all that.
An holes were dug down to atleast foot an a half deep so the root zone shoukd be deep enough to not be affected by the metal ring.
My soil was average at best to start with an at time of top dressin cpl plants soil ph was readin at the high 5's so wen i top dressed i added dolomite lime to try an balance it back out week or so later the ph did rise bak closer to neutral so i left it at that.
I know powerfeed aint designed for weed but i go by the feex ratings it suggests for herbs veggies an annuals an that reccomends 50ml/9ltr an i would only feed them once every week an a half at best. Have other plants growin in different area with similar set up expect i have put up a heap of panda plastic to help bounce the sunlight around them better an they seem to be having no problems at all.

Nothing wrong with cheap ph probes, i use my $10 fleabay one over my $200+ pen. Both read accurately....
He’s not talking about water probes but dirt probes. Also you get what you pay for, I’m yet to get a china spec water ph meter that will hold its calibration for more than a week at a time. If I use a meter I don’t want to have to calibrate it every single time I use it.
