@MaryJuneVoss - SC#2855 do you use chemical fertilizers? The more I look at it it looks burned(like a chemical kind of burn)

@MaryJuneVoss - SC That top picture is sunburn. No question.

@MaryJuneVoss - SC give it some miracle grow and it will perk right up. The problem is the roots have not adjusted yet and are not naturalizing into the soil. Looks like not enough water as well

Reeeee don't poison your soil with that garbage

It’s done wonders for my Pine and fir trees

How often do you have to feed it?

It literally kills everything in your soil so you have to keep using their chemicals

It may as well be named "miracle soil sterilizer"

Well to get them established, I would water them with it every other week for 2 years. It’s at my parents and they were able to become established and they do fine on their own now

I didn’t know that but I haven’t had any problems, maybe that’s how I have had problems growing seedlings then

Like less than an inch tall

Yeah man it messes with the soil food web big time

If I didn’t use it on all those trees I planted they would have died like the ones my dad planted haha

I suppose your right

Oh

But the soil was clay anyway, so it isn’t idealistic to grow in

Most soil has clay in it. If you feel the need to feed the soil something just make some compost tea or something

Feed the soil not the plants...

Seriously though all these plants did fine for years without us

Yea, I’m impatient

The more you put your hand in it to "fix" things the more it's going to mess up

That's oftentimes the problem haha

I HIGHLY recommend reading this book

You have to understand that your soil is alive and that there is an entire food chain maintaining the balance

(Or there's supposed to be if we'd stop messing with it by constantly trying to "correct" problems we think exist)

This is an awesome method

My father and I hand plant 10k plus onions by hand

Using an Amish plough

Every year

It’s a small plot as well

Planted this myself, that Boulder has been in my grandmother’s yard for 4 decades

I thought it was pretty aesthetic

It's extremely aesthetic, bruh

Very nice @Francis V

I like the cat.
