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
*BUMP* Hope someone here has personal growing experience and can help. I have never grown any Asian greens - but I probably should.
Bok Choy: Zones 4-7. They are heavy feeders. I learned that with my Brussels Sprouts this season. Dosed them 2x with Blood Meal for the nitrogen and iron...they were 4-5’ tall!
