RE: My Biggest Homesteading Obstacle, Growing in Tough Conditions.

in #gardening7 years ago

That sounds like a tough job ahead of you...BUT...think of the satisfaction when you've got a beautiful garden of amended soil! I've struggled with fertility issues too, especially because different crops need various amounts.

I couldn't grow radishes at all. I discovered this year it's probably because my soil is too nutrient rich! oops...I went too far on the scale. So next year I'll grow them in a bed without enriching.

Looking forward to see more of your garden evolution.

Sort:  

I read that radishes are a good indication as to whether your soil is fertile enough, so I didn't think it would be problem to over fertilise for them! 😄

was it you who told me that te appropriate people use radishes to test the quality of potting mix?
