It was layer and spikes day. I amended my 6 gallon planters. Dumped the soil into a tote and broke up the root ball then put it in my worm bin. Removed 3 gallons of the soil.
Then I added:
1 gallon fresh compost
1 gallon perlite
2 tbsp Gaia alfalfa meal 3-0-3
2 tbsp Gaia kelp meal 1-0-3
2 tbsp gypsum
2 tbsp Gaia power bloom 2-8-4
2 tbsp Gaia neem meal 4-3-2
2 tbsp Gaia 4-4-4
Added some water and mixed it up.
Layer and spike mix is:
1 1/2 gallons fresh compost
1 gallon fresh ewc
1 1/2 gallons perlite
1 gallon composted steer manure
2 tbsp Gaia power bloom 2-8-4
2 tbsp Natura fishbone meal 6-12-0
2 tbsp Gaia kelp meal 1-0-3
1 tbsp gypsum
Added some water and mixed it up.
Then I put a 3” layer of the L&S mix into the bottom of the 6 gallon planter. Filled it up and made 6 spike holes using my garden trowel handle. Filled those up with the L&S mix. Then I put the monster cropped Jacks into their new homes and gave them a good water.
