Sorry, this one slipped by. I must have been high at the time.



I use the tarps for raincatchers like getaway does. A smaller one to catch the rain and a bigger one tied up at the corners to hold it. Make sure your trees are big enough to hold the weight. Water is heavy as hell.

I make my own soil. Mostly manure composts, peat moss and potting soil. With added lime, Epson salts, blood and bone meal, coffee ground compost, perlite, vermiculite and a little organic and time release plant food. If you use too much time release you can taste it in the bud, but if you use too much organic, your plants might get dug up.

Good luck OP.

I'd second thumper on Osmocote, just mix it in the holes and then only worry about watering. Specifically, Osmocote Plus is what you want, npk is 5-3-4 (15-9-12 is how it's listed) and contains all the necessary micro-nutrients as well.

Espoma if you want, "organic", although will require top dressing as needed. Im trying osmocote on a few this year, i like the idea of it. Dont let the guys at the hydro shop sell you on their most expensive lineup, I always tell them I get my soil there, THATS IT. The guy asks what I use for nutes told him espoma, he's "surprised", to hear they have nutrient blends, as all they carry there is garden lime, gypsum by espoma.. my thought was, they dont carry the nutrient blends bc it'd be harder to sell their bottled nutes. He also tried selling me some dry organic fert, saying all the outdoor guys use this, $50 for a bag about the size of $10 espoma bag. I ask him if its time release or what, all he knows is thats what outdoor guys use. After reading the confusing ass application directions, ( it had grams of nutes, per gallons of soil) i established its absolutely no different from espoma, with maybe a slightly different npk

I'm cutting back on the time release this season. I've always used quite a bit, and it got to where I could taste it in the bud. This year I'm starting later, so I will need less ferts anyway, and I'm only adding 2-3 cups per 45 gallon soil mix.

they dont mess with me bad, light digging until they establish it isnt food, I presume coons n possums. Only one time the plants were out of containers soil thrown everywhere, bags thrown everywhere, all I could think it could be was coyotes

Are you sure it is 5-3-4?

Dividing just to divide isn't accurate.
