Soooooo....learning what methods to grow,straight into media,in the six pack size containers into gravel,and in pots outside the aqua system,both in and outside the hoophouse.
As for bugs,the nematodes that eat gnat eggs from last season,have come back.Added lady bugs,gnats and aphids almost non existent.Slugs much less this year,hitting it hard with Sluggo.
Bed 4,here is 6 and 4 week old beans and peas in the gravel,they are doing well so far...cold water doesnt seem to bother them
Here are some tomatillos in the 2 pots,look how much they are doing compared to the struggling tomato next to left pot.My theory,tomato roots LOVE that heat the pots give them.I cut an X in bottom for roots to go out.
Here are 2 week old beans/peas in bed one,all will remain in the pots
My peppers in bed four...
Lettuce in bed 1,a six pack experiment and 10 or so in gravel doing super
Basil in three,and chives in gravel,small and large pots,and strawberries...rosemary in pots
Note tomato in pot bigger than in cool gravel in bed 2
Tomatoes outside,big flop,inside in pots are the biggest of all
outside
inside
