Whatcha use for your vegetable starts? I typically use half pro-mix and half amended then if up-potting, straight amended. Then water only.
Coast of Maine potting mix and a bag of tomato and vegetable

And then I added 10 gallons total of promix to that

Same! I usually use the grey bag but I’ve used the pink too. The tomatoes and vegetables I’ve never really stopped to look at. You put that in your mix for starts eh? Or is that just for plants you bring to maturity in pots?

I find very satisfying from the last picture how well aligned those buds are hahaha. Theyre looking great, waiting to see those buds in later stages.
Legit, I have come back to this a couple times today. It’s just clean af.
The kind of thing that def is honed to a razors edge. Proper. 👊🏻

Thanks fam! Been goin at it all day across the board, just slammin veggies in 4” pots and trying to find room 🤣 sticking stuff out in the mini greenhouse, should be holding mid 40’s at night so they should be ok in there put the hot cherry peppers into 5 gallon fabric pots, soil mix was… last grow’s soil and root balls mixed with half decomposed compost from last year, let’s see how they do!

Besides that the veggies continued with the mix used yesterday still have another 2 Rubbermaid totes full of soil to use need a few hundred more cups bud we’ll see how it goes

Cocktail fruit trees gettin their funky on hopefully they fruit this year fingers crossed! Look at all those varieties haha

I planted and mostly neglected some pimentos in 72’s. One set is pure amended coast of Maine. The other is 50/50 with promix.

The growth rate appears to be triple the rate in the 50/50 blend. They’re pale and in need of transplanting, but definitely they grew much faster until stunting.

Just knocking out the bigger bed now finished flipping the 5’x50’ add on by hand then added 5 wheelbarrows of my homemade compost on top it’s not fully done but that’s ok I’m covering it all in heavy fabric after it is tilled so it’ll continue to break down in the soil

Most likely will be a cherry tomato row down the edge of the bed I have 10, wife wants watermelon too though…. Somewhere has to fit about 200-300 onions as well lol

Im trying my hand at compost this year : ) for application next year.

200-300!? Holy cow! Whats the area of that once they’re planted? I like the idea of a cherry tomato row👍
