I was thinking maybe of putting 2 Straight Eight Cucumber plants in one SIP sat up again an trellis. What do you think?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />NickNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827443184917889024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-14721898264867375282011-05-19T08:45:48.560-05:002011-05-19T08:45:48.560-05:00H2,

Seems like s smart approach.

Not sure if you rem...Hi Bruce & Everyone Else,<br /><br />Not sure if you remember me, and all my talking about trying to make my stuff grow veganically. So - I just thought I'd updated you on my endeavors. I've decided to attempt to make my own veganic fertilizer. Basically using Steve Solomon's recipe. What I purchased:<br /><br />Soybean & Alfalfa Meal<br />Rock Phosphate<br />Lime<br />Kelp Meal<br /><br />So I'm going to attempt to whip up a batch of that this weekend along with building the SIP's for the first time. here's hoping for the best. I'm going to have to look at your post on the new wicking method - see if I can purchase that stuff locally to have it in time. <br /><br />So what do you think of this? I have the NPK numbers of each ingredient, just not sure when I put the proper parts together if my math will serve me on what the over all/total NPK will be, ha. Either way, hoping it turns out to work well.<br /><br />Keep up the great work, any recommendations are welcome!<br /><br />In health,<br /><br />NickNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827443184917889024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-28120710616653630432011-05-12T15:08:35.495-05:002011-05-12T15:08:35.495-05:00Here's to a bountiful first growing season.

I think I too may go with the fabric wicking (I've seen rayon mop head strings also used) in my next generation of SIPs. I can already foresee too much moisture in my SIPs. Hopefully my 1st growing season is a success.<br /><br />-BradBradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01150288297852995487noreply@blogger.com
