What is a good way to grow organic vegetables on soil that is just a swamp? A large part of the growing area was thick sludge throughout the year.
Grow Sacks giants: the best way to grow more organic vegetable gardens in humid
Here is a simple way to turn even the worst peaty or wet soils in a sustainable organic garden. The acquisition of a few old bags of fertilizer - or better yet, those giant nylon bags carrying a ton of sand and can be obtained for nothing in construction sites, already profitably drilled. Shovel on a mixture of good soil, sand and compost homemade.
Cut a large number of cracks in one end and remove the bags so that the cracks are against this bad ground. This is so that the roots can grow through the bag and into the soil. Plant several small potatoes pre-germinated in this bag.
For potatoes? You will get the value more food per cubic foot of soil.
As they grow, the potatoes can turn to acid to water marshes and tubers - protected from light - expand throughout the bag. And the tops will emerge with gratitude tabs.
A trash bag will feed half the county
A small bag of cement or manure will not give you a great harvest. But a large bag for construction should give you many bushels of potatoes. The bag wet water will not harm the potatoes, because it is not polluted. Potatoes as a rather acidic environment. You can use the same approach to GrowSack other vegetables and fruits such as moisture, like squash and tomatoes, if you have no choice but to grow up poor food soil. It is also possible to grow vegetables in conifers as leylandii that leached all the nutrients and water from the ground and made sterile.
Strawberries and other bush fruits that grow in the shade and slightly acidic soil do very well in face down, perforated bags manufacturers.
At worst, if you do not have giant durable bags, you can use ordinary plastic waste bags.
Container garden "that softens the ground below
Try this method in the same area for several years and when you give successive bags, you gently lift the soil surface. It is time to plant fruits and vegetables directly in the ground - at least those who do not mind acidic conditions.
Caution: Do not be tempted to reduce soil acidity with lime application, at least not if you grow potatoes. Potatoes do not like lime and they get the crust. However, since the ground level was raised from the lime ground would be a good project for the growth of another heavy power plant Brassica.
Any disease or insect problems that lurk below the ground are less hazardous to plants grown in bags.
Plants like water should do well in a GrowSack giant, if it can get its roots in moist soil underneath. Unless the soil pH is below 4 below - ie.
You can also develop giant cress on GrowSacks
You will have a good harvest of watercress in a large GrowSack even in wet and acidic soils - but only if the bag is perforated, but left intact. Despite myths to the contrary, watercress do not have to grow in water. It will grow in moist soil with a neutral pH or a porous inert material. Pull alongside a bag of debris to a shallow container. Add a few inches of sand or gravel, and some compost and water well.
Place the stems in a vase of water. They will tend to push long fibrous roots. Frogs and gnomes, at least, will love.
