Those sprinklers sound really efficient!

Didn’t see your reply until right after I posted this - https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4194429/posts?page=49#49

Twice as efficient than I thought.

I got 1 out of 6 that wobbles a bit. Still waters good. I’m using five but somehow lost one yesterday. When I run across it, I’ll replace the wobbly one as I know the missing one doesn’t wobble. It’s probably under the leaves out there. Need to rake the little garden out.

Bok Choy growing advice needed.

From what I’m seeing;

1) pH 6-7.5
2) shallow rooted - keep top moist
3) heavy feeder
4) 12” SPACING

What I’m thinking

1) I have 5.2 - 5.5 pH so wood ash to almost cover soil with grey - water in
2) overhead micro-sprinklers
3) I have 5-1-1 fish emultion and can fertigate through drip once true leaves are out and again later
4) I have a tape measure :)

I’ve never had much luck with brassica, especially here with this pH. I’ve been reluctant to lime because I have absolutely disease free and mostly pest free nightshades, maters/taters, which is what I’ve been mostly growing. I also need to get a soil test but the AG ext service is a bit pricey and I hadn’t gotten into growing non-nightshades enough yet to bother. That and I wanted to see what would grow. Mustard and leaf lettuce do ok.

thx
