chilifans southern spanish chili garden

hello :) i thought id start a growlog!

i like growing in the ground.. i grow various kinds of veggies depending what season it is. it might be more work to prepare the soil by hand but its well worth it.

i grow in raised beds in most cases, but this year im also experimenting with a trench grow. i dug up a 6 feet x 2 feet and 3 feet deep trench that i filled up with compost, soil, potting soil and various other things including carbon from my smoker, ashes, chicken and rabbit manure and perlite.. this last trench is based lightly on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_preta method used by precolumbian cultures oif the americas. chilis beeing one of their main crops, made me think it should be interesting to try to see if it makes any difference compared to the normal raised beds of mine. honestly i kind of messed up since i planted only one variety there without a control group in a normal raised bed so any comparisons made during the season should not be taken too serioously. i will continue to amend the trench with charcoal during the next winter to do a more proper comparison in the next years season..

this year i grow rocotos, jalapeños, baccatums and various chinenses.

i will post some pics later on..
