Fertilizing, Another Way 08/04/2011
 I finally got my sprayer working today. A while ago, I tried but it got clogged, so I gave up. This last weekend I purchased some cheese cloth for straining the worm tea.  On the left is a small amount of worm tea straight out of the worm bin. There is a strainer with some cheese cloth that has clothespins holding it secure. The 'tool' resting in the strainer is a ladle. I put a funnel on the sprayer body, put the strainer on top of that, and used the ladle to put in six measures of it into the sprayer. Then I filled the sprayer (to the mark) with water. It was now time to spray all the foliage of my garden plants. Worm tea molecules are the right size for plants to use NOW. It won't burn the plants. So it is best to spray this tea mixture right on the leaves. I was told once a week. Now that I've got my sprayer fixed, I hope to find out how well that works. Pictures will tell the story. Maybe I will take a sprayer full over to Farmer J's. He would be so pleased. ******************************************************************************* Add Comment HOW MY GARDEN GROWS... 10/08/2010
 My first bed of peas are doing well. It won't be long before I get peas...I hope.  Here, you can see that my new peas are coming up. This makes me so happy! But, I am easily amused.  These are my cauliflower plants, and Savoy cabbage, I believe. A few days ago I put some worm tea on them. It seems they are more 'perky'. Funny how a little nourishment pumps...them...up!  I threw worm tea on these, too. These Japanese eggplant are doing well, now too. I think they just needed some cooler weather. AND...some worm tea. I am looking forward to getting veggies well into the colder months. Maybe even all winter...IF...I play my 'seeds' right. | ArchivesMarch 2012 CategoriesAll |
