About to start a new garden.Have turned over and broken up the soil then added compost.I remember @CathD's advice to 'feed your soil not your plants' so I'm wondering if this next idea would be good or bad. " i.e. Mix 1 part sugar to 4 parts epsom salts -then place small amount in the hole with your plant." Not sure if I would be feeding my soil or killing my plant.What do workshoppers think ? Cheers.
@Trying, when you mentioned your recipe for growth promotion, it rang a bell. Sure enough, I'd received a newsletter in my In-Box, & saved it to my "Daily Dump" (things I catch up with later) bookmark folder.
My apologies @CathD- I did mean @CathM.The sugar/epsom salt mix advice was given to me by an old timer (his word not mine) at my local council community garden. I'm told it's good for all types of plants but I'm trying it with a bed of grasses and liriopes. If anyone is interested I'll happily give an update of what happens. Cheers
Hi @Isobel I'm wondering..... is the liquid seaweed you mentioned used as a soil improver and nutritional boost or more as a de-stressor because the plant is being 'transplanted.' Or am I just over analysing the whole process.? Cheers
