gittin' ready 2 plant top pik purple hulls on the left side, 32 ft row where the taters were...and corn in the 4x8 box on the right where the onions were...i've never had a raised bed so i'm learning where to grow what...not as much room so next year, i'll grow each vege in a 4x8 box since the plants tend to invade space if planted in the 32 ft row method...



get to use this to till in black cow poo in the corn patch...reckon i better remove the soaker hoses...~~~!!~~~

I am just winging it on the watering. We bought or house in April of last year to redo. The previous owner left a bunch of carp, most of it junk but some usable stuff. One of those things was a soaker hose, that they had customized by punching holes every foot give or take. So I am using that hose on my main bed 5x18 for the main watering. When I feed, I make a garret juice type mixture using different types of compost(cotton burr, black cow, and mushroom). Then I add some epsom salt and whole ground cornmeal, and if I'm feeling froggy Ill throw in some blood meal and molasses. I usually mix this up in a 5 gallon water jug and run an aquarium bubbler in it over night. Then I strain it through a wire mesh strainer if I am going to drench it or I run it through wire mesh and cheese cloth if I am going to foliar feed. When I feed I do it in the late evening and just pour it from a regular watering can to drench or spray it with a pump sprayer for foliar. I feel that with this mixture, even though I am getting on the leaves, that the cornmeal will help keep the fungal infections away and by doing it late in the day that the sun will not burn the leaves with water either. So far I am having pretty good luck with this method. When the pest show up all I will need to do is add the BT or insecticidal soap to my mix and boom feed and kill, I hope.
