I was thinking about putting straw over the soil in my smart pots to help retain moisture. I've done that in my veg garden for many years. My only concern is once flowering starts will it be a hot bed for mold? Might just do it and take it off in late August / early Sept. Thoughts anyone?

As anyone use this for veg http://www.homedepot.com/p/Alaska-1-Gal-5-1-1-Fish-Fertilizer-100099249/100211859

I used it last summer. Haven't thought to pick any up this season. I'll grab a gallon when I'm at Lowe's next week. Like the others said, what's in the soil makes the most difference, but I think it's worthwhile adding.

I was talking about it last year on a gardening thread, and a fellow that lives in Hawaii said his Japanese neighbors cooked with it. So much for too smelly.

Ive proved to myself straw (i use sugarcane its like a straw ) helps a hell of a lot in smart pots that arent overly big never had no problems during flower.

Get that straw in there. It only helps

Why not alfalfa ... Boom

 

[Vnsmkr]

alfalfa straw yip

 

[MiddlerGuerrilla]

Alfalfa it is. I know Treemanbuds uses it.

 

[MiddlerGuerrilla]

My Botanigard ES has arrived. If I remember from reading on here a few weeks ago a root drench won't be effective in the long term if I'm using fertilizer(Maxsea) because the microbes can't survive??? Am I recalling this correctly? If so can it still be effective if done multiple times? Thank you in advance.

 

[Vnsmkr]

Never used Maxsea, but salts from synthetic nutrients kill off microbes in the soil. I know that Maxsea is Kelp based and has some organic ingredients, but its still synthetic....I don't know how much effect it has, but if it were me, multiple applications of Botaniguard and I also would be adding some teas in there weekly so as to help rebuild the soil biology

 

[MiddlerGuerrilla]

Well I'm going to grab a bale of alfalfa so I might be using some to brew tea as well,
