I am going to try and grow a real monster this year so i have been out preparing the hole.but as you can see(photo 1) i dont have much depth to play with.
although i grew the one in my avatar in this very spot last year,i decided to make it deeper.
photo 2 is the bucket of fish bodies i am going to add to the hole.
photo's 3 and 4 are of my solution to the depth problem.
photo 5 well that is wally laying in my soil pile sunning himself.
photo 6 is the fish soup in the hole.
photo 7 is the lucky winner and is the one going into this monster grow
photo 8 the soil is back in the hole all ready for the lucky winner.
photo 9 i hope to fill the gap in my garden completely
i will have to wait about 3 weeks before i transplant to this spot it is just a tad hot at the moment.
the soil mix is
2 parts coarse yellow sand
1 part compost
1 part chook poop
1 part rabbit poop
1part sheep poop
1 part clay
the soil has been mixed a sitting now for 3 months and i added some worms about 2 months ago.
i also added some high phospherous bulb fert and some gypsum and lime.
the chances are i wont have to feed this again but time will tell..
so now i wait for 3 weeks i will transplant to the hole and see what develops ..
