I can see you are a pro! Thanks for the advice and links. I am dealing with just a approx 30’ x 5’ plot that only gets about 5 hours of sun daily.
I recently got 3-Pound of Scotts All Purpose Flower and Vegetable Continuous Release Plant Food (10-10-10), since it was only 2.80, but this year i used Miracle Gro, plus some WallMart special.
No I’m not a pro - really. Just really started in earnest in 2010. Diana, Tubebender, Tilted Irish Kilt - just to name a few are the real pros. Diana gave me helpful advice when I was first attempting to garden, as did Red Devil, who was hosting the thread then.
I’m just trying to pay it forward. I have to re read a little less each year come spring, since my memory isn’t what it used to be.
Before 2010, I never was able to keep anything alive. In 2010, I had my first square foot garden-my daughter gave me a book, and I used the Mel’s mix. Almost everything I grew produced a good crop.
I think it’s because Mel’s mix is almost impossible to overwater. I think I killed all the houseplants and stuff due to overwatering. A little benign neglect is sometimes good. LOL
