I’m so excited! I got my big jung’s order in this week. Including my algoflash. Do I just mix it up and spray it on the plants themselves? Seriously? I want to make sure I don’t do it wrong LOL.

I set out 100 pepper plants this morning. 150 more to go! *cringe*.

My blackberry bramble is coming along nicely. Added 5 more plants to it.

And my asparagus seeds are sprouting! I’ve got about 60 seedlings so far, yay! Hopefully they won’t die.

I use Algoflash as a liquid mixed with water and feed directly to the plant roots. I’ve never used it as a foliar spray, but if the bottle says you can do it, you can do it.

Sounds like you’ve got a nice little operation going there for ya! I can’t WAIT to get back to my farm fulltime. (I know. I sound like a broken record, LOL!)

I’m going on some ‘spy missions’ today to see how other greenhouses are doing and how busy they are in this horrible stretch of cold, wet weather we’ve had this past week...I may have to buy a few things just to look legit, LOL!

I use Algoflash as a foliar spray in addition to direct feeding...you just use a weaker solution, and do NOT apply it in direct sunlight (best in evenings). The instructions are on the bottle, I believe. (I am out at the moment...)

I hope you saw the article I posted earlier on this thread about the Asparagus farm operated by a widow here in WI. It's on the first, or second, page of this thread. Worth the read.

How do you have your blackberry bramble controlled? I mean trellises, wires, etc. Is there any structure to it?
