I hope this inline feeder works well. I will find out in a few months. It is a 2 gallon EZ-Flo and seems to be working ok so far, but my plants are still small and need another few weeks to see significant growth. I could not find any wheat hay to top my layer of ground cloth/fabric so I am using a red hard wood mulch. Hope it works well. I have all my tomatoes panted (35) and still need to put in a couple of zukes and pepper plants. I may also plant a couple of watermelon and acorn squash. I will have to see how things are going. But I will have to do so soon as they take a while to develop.

The feeder should work out great. It may need a bit of tweaking of the dilution of the fert, but once you get it figured out it should be good to go for many seasons.

We are coming back there to visit this week, so I added a timer to an outlet that I had been using manually, and checking others to insure they are functioning properly. After doing all this prep work, we will get rain the entire time we are gone.

I use red mulch over weed block too. It’s so good to see
you back, Red. How are the pups?
My corn is over 6 feet tall and are tasselling out. Now I
need to sprinkle some cayenne pepper over the top of the
corn cob leaves to keep those worms away. Hope it works.
My tomatoes are coming along beautifully so I’m spreading
baking soda on the soil to sweeten the “fruit”. Squash
galore, cukes coming along. When I planted my 4 different kinds of peppers, something happened to the markers, I’ve
replanted them with the tomatoes, but I don’t know which are
which. My Asian mustard greens are going crazy, we pick
some and a bunch more is ready the following 2 days.
Greeneyes,
Do you preserve greens?
I’m getting ready to plant some India greens as soon as
the weather clears and my foot is ok.
Gardening is surprising and fun.
