I had no idea that aspirin was good for blossom end rot. Huh. Thanks!
Neither did i, this will be the first year ive tried it 🤞🏻
Your soil looks bleak. Feed your soil and forget about putting human fixes on plants. Study up on no till gardens and permaculture
If your plants are failing they dont have a proper foundation (food source).
Also mulching helps huge.
Just by a glance you soil seems very dense. Which may mean the compact earth wont take on and retain moisture
You see all thoses chunky bits ??
Thats wood from previous mulchings.
Theres a pile of worm castings not in the picture ready to go on as a top dressing followed by a straw mulch.
There's only so much time in a day.
The soil is sandy in this area, what you see is a lot better than it was when i started. At the end of this season I'll be adding biochar to help encourage biological activity.
For now, 2p worth of asprin as an experiment aint going to hurt.
Definitely takes a long time build up soil! A process. Keep us updated on the aspirin test, I am curious if there will be a difference 🧐
Me too, I don't really have trouble with tomatoes here though, just like info They kind of just grow themselves, if I don't harvest all of them I will have tomatoes the next year.
Agreed! All you need for beautiful healthy tomatoes is plenty of organic matter (compost) and some mulch!
Mulch helps drastically not only to retain moisture but keep it consistent over variable temps which affects blossom end rot (high humidity) and blossom drop (excessive heat).
No chemicals here!
Combine bio-char into your soil and apply KNF (Korean natural farming) techniques and you’ll have a super garden fit for kings!
