I’ve never used or sold the Dr. Earth products, but I found this info:

It certainly LOOKS like it should be of benefit to the soil and your plants. Plus you got it on sale, LOL! ;)

Thanks - maybe someone here is familiar with the breakdown of the TruBiotic “components”. If not, I’ll have to find some serious research time. Like I know where that will come from. ;-)

I wish I knew what prompted that last Opo plant to recover so spectacularly when the others just died. It has set 2 fruits and I think a 3rd is on the way. The 1st 2 are ~5” long now, so, they should be good to go on to maturity (could be 5 FEET long and 5” in diameter) IF we have the time before a frost. So far, no squirrels have shown up.

One branch/vine has drooped down from that Mimosa tree I mentioned earlier, and is just barely touching the ground. I think I’ll pile some garden soil on it and keep it watered to see if it will root and provide additional nourishment. I’ll bet there’s 30 feet of vine between the ~5 gallon pot this thing grows from, and the point it has “retouched” the ground. Add in the other “branches” and there has to be well over 60’ of vine, now. I’m wondering if roots out the bottom of the pot have tapped into something, like an old buried raccoon?

I also wonder if anyone ever made a “B” sci-fi movie about vines that grow huge and attack people? Star Trek TNG had an episode about something like that trying to take over the ship, but it didn’t attack people - I think...

3 of my Asian Squash plants still look good too, but are more like 12-15’ of vine. They just won’t flower for me, even after repeated shots of Bloom Booster and Super Phosphate. :-(
