Yup it feels moist, I guess tonight Il water it see what happens
Its organic soil
Will worm compost work?
Well it might be organic but it's not a potting mix which is what you want. That looks like it will just keep compacting as you water. Plus I keep seeing it and don't understand why people don't fill up the pots they're growing in. You left a good portion of that pot empty.
This drives me batty, too, especially when I ask people why they half filled a pot and they say "It's all I had". I used to fill my pots almost completely to the top, but I leave about 2" now to give me room for top dressing throughout the grow.
Strange it was to the top before it got less, I guess Il buy more soil If I mix a diffrent brand with this one will it be fine?
That's what I mean about compacting. It's not your fault. The way some of the products are labeled is confusing. I'm guessing that was an organic compost or soil conditioner of some type intended for adding to raised beds and gardens. You should be able to mix that with a decent potting mix that contains perlite and/or other soil aerating ingredients. Don't go breaking the current soil off the root ball or anything but just use better soil when you transplant which you'll need to do because that pot is only half full.
Leaving an inch or two at the top of the pot helps even if one doesn't top dress. When the pots are filled to the brim, you have to trickle your water into the pot so it doesn't overflow. With large pots, that's very time consuming. With the void, you can fill to the brim, let it filter into the medium while you're filling other pots. Then just go back and repeat.
We had wind storm last night, found my plant bend. Decided to tie it with a rope, but it looks like itsgoing to be dead slowly not sure what to do.
Im out of seed
il just weed see what happens
Bhope its been a week I think not sure looks like its abit better
I agree. That soil looks really heavy.
I like to leave some room for topdressing with EWC or vermicompost if I can. Otherwise I have to use straight dry amendments without the extra stuff.
