Great information Oppe. We were planning to do a foliar epsom salt spray on our plants today but you gave lots of other great tips.
Take care,
Rob
Yes Sir 10-10-10 works just fine. I like to melt mine down in a bucket of water then apply it to the bales. Epson salt is some good stuff! Cal Mag Plus is awesome! Just shown that in my last video for the greenhouse. It is pricey but it works super well. Another great video full of information Mr. Oppe!
Oppe – I've been gardening for years and I just learned a LOT from you. I've never tried foliage feeding my garden with the magnesium. Brilliant! I don't SBG but I do have seat-height raised beds and I struggle with magnesium shortage constantly. I have only ever sprinkled the epsom salts. Thank you!
Watering and fertilizing are the worst task for me to do as a gardener. Its just time consuming.
Great information
Another thought – Could the straw bales be used in sunken (partially or wholely) beds? I will be moving to AZ and that thought just occurred to me.
This may be an over simplified question but, what's the bigger detriment, over or under fertilization?
Great video, I will be putting Epsom salt on my container tomato plants
Great job sharing information on how do I identify plantay shoes by looking at the leaves.
How do you spell Opie?
I think I have over fertilized my peppers. I did a foliar spray early in the morning that included chelated iron, and I think I burned them. The tomatoes loved it though. I have never done well with peppers, and I love peppers!
