Please take a look at the leaves around my flowers. Is this yellowing normal because energy is going to the buds?
It’s hungry, not normal
I have earthwork castings and fish bone meal. Which one do you suggest I put down?
You want nitrogen, so if your into organic stuff then it’s kelp I believe.
Hey @Nicky Good to see you back , The kelp meal that I have been using with mostly young Plants.
Does not have much NPK value .
I put down about 2.5 tablespoons of fish bone meal and top dressed it with a quarter cup of earthworm castings. Should that do the trick?
Fish meal Definitely has some good nitrogen value .
Will they be ok for a couple of weeks? Normally it’s about a week or two for the nutes to take.
That’s a good idea but unfortunately I applied it already. I needed to get it in the soil because it takes a little while to incorporate.
@Lightyear yes >if you add it to the soil. BuT, if you make a tea and let it aerate for 24 hours, its immediately avail to the plant. Id go ahead and make a tea anyways. Youre not going to burn it up.
You would be fine to make the tea as well, the castings will take a bit to break down,sure but the tea can add a bit of immediate feed and you really don’t need to worry about nute burn or over feeding with organics, generally speaking.
[fist bump]
Community has you covered tea is a great choice
I have trust in you. If I microwave the mix can I use it right away?
I don’t have a bubbler. Can I just let it sit for an hour or two, strain it then apply?
Nah, just mix the water and amendments in a bucket and keep it stirred up but let it sit for 24 hours…
Should I strain the amendments out and just use the liquid or apply everything?
You can apply everything
