Winter rain
Unseasonable winter rain. It's been coming down for 24hrs straight. Temperature dipping into 40's possible. The good news-- the bamboo seems to have responded to SuperThrive right nicely.

I notice you pay close attention to plant nutrition but I never see any post where you utilize foliar fertilizer applications. I have done extensive research (professional) on this subject and highly recommend its practice. When ever fertilizer is applied to the soil, it can tie up on both organic and inorganic molecules making it unavailable to the plant. Also, the plant has to have a prolific root system to absorb the fertilizer solution which many nursery grown plants do not or roots are compromised by soil born pests such as nematodes or fungus. When the soil is too or too dry, the root is restricted in nutrient uptake.
ReplyDeleteWhen fertilizer is applied as a foliar spray, the nutrients are adsorbed within a few hours bypassing the problematic soil ecosystem. Use the high quality Miracle Gro and a cheap hand sprayer or when watering, pour your fertilizer solution over the foliage. Use foliar as a supplement to your normal soil applications and I think you'll see a positive response.
