RE: Slow growth this year 2013?
I'm in central Indiana. This year all my plants, except for my fruit trees, seem to be growing slowly. I've made some changes to my garden by adding wood chips as much. No till here.
I know that wood chips can draw some N from the soil but I thought it only affected the top 2 mm or so? OTOH, it could be weather related or even my desire to see big plants. Everything seems to be in slow motion this year. I also have more pests this year than ever before. How are your plants doing?
