biscuitridge, I saw your latest video. You certainly have one of the best looking gardens I have ever seen. I was wondering if you were still doing sweet potatoes and thought you had given up on them and then at the very end, there they were. Hope they work out for you. I put in 8 rabbiteye blueberry bushes and planted strawberries in them just like you did. Lots of work and expense. Mixed in 8 bags of peat moss. Good luck

"I'm not expecting much from my sweet potatoes as they say they do better in poor soil and that isn't what I have, my soil is rich,so we'll see."
I see that all the time and I believe that one should be labeled a garden myth, While it is true that sweet potatoes will grow in the sandy soils of the South where other crops don't fare as well, they will grow just fine in rich organic soil. They do not grow in compacted clay soils without amendments. I would be more concerned about if you have enough heat units in your area. Sweet potatoes are heavy feeders, requiring nutrient-rich soil to develop large, healthy tubers. Organic matter improves soil structure, increases moisture retention, and promotes beneficial microbial activity. Aim for about 2-3 inches of organic matter mixed into the top 6-8 inches of soil. https://forestry.com/guides/grow-and...aring-the-Soil Thank you for the tips on blueberry fertilizer. I have been using fish emulsion which did turn the red leaves back to green, but was wondering about other choices. I am just happy they all survived. |
