Alright here we go. I started a veggie garden this year because i couldnt grow my own meds in the summer so i have a grower for the time being. I miss growing weed, so i started my veggie garden to keep me occupied, its not near as satisfying as growing weed though. I am also using the garden to further my knowledge on plant life and what they need and what not pretty much plant life.
My soil is 40% top soil and 40% organic compost and 20% humice. I also had to add a few bales of peat moss and black golds organic compost as well to fill the boxes up all the way, the soil also comes ph stable.
Garden specs: 2 raised beds each 4 ft x 10ft x 2 1/2ft deep. I have copper tape around both boxes so no slugs get in cuz we have alot and so far no probs.
PICS.
#1. Raised bed 1, contains 1 cayenne, 1 bell pepper 3 rows of radishes and i have already harvested these 1 time. 1 row of onions, one row of lettuce, and then at the end we have some cucumber, lemon cucumber, watermelon, and cantaloupe.
#2. Raised bed 2, contains 4 tomato plants theri small because i just replaced the last because they had root rot so i pulled they were 4 ft tall already to but all well. also is 3 bel pepper, 3 cayenne, rows of corn and under the corn is green beans climbing the corn. also have a few jade cuts i theri starting to root. also some mint i found so i pulled it and put it in a pot in my garden.
the other pics explain them selfs. the only prob i have is aphids but theri not to bad but bad enough to attract ants. also just discovered spider mites on my corn so i am going to go buy some lady bugs to eat them off. oh and the pic of the brown water is water and a bag of aged horse shit. i added 2 tablespoons of molasses to it also, now what i read was to just let it sit for a few days and then use it ina diluted mix, but this shit is way stinky and has a layer of film on top of the water. is this normal if any one know. my plants seem to love it though.
any questions or advice is always welcome, and i hope i get at least a few followers.
