    Plants mysteriously falling over

    I have a similar issue in my raised bed every year.   The reason is; the plants become top heavy, especially when loaded with pods, and the soil in my raised bed is quite loose.   A garden stake and large UV resistant cable ties quickly remedy the situation.

    Adam,   I do my 'pre-fertilization', to coin a phrase, using the Down-to-Earth products.   A couple weeks after plant-out, I start a regimen of Alaska Fish and Liquid Kelp, at 80% recommended dilution (4 fl. oz. of each per 5 gal. water), and apply once a week. I generally give each plant a...

    Thanks Adam,   Not doing the Red CPR this year, trying to cut back on number of plants, and wanted to try some new varieties, so, unfortunately, the Red CPR did not make the cut this year.   Looking forward to seeing how well the Red CPR will grow for you, if you decide to try it next year. It...

    media What media to use? Transplanting from start pods to solo cups

    My one and only experience with Kellogg's was so bad, I would not advise my worst enemy to use it. As to potting up, FF Ocean Forest is my go to.
