Who’s got a garden this year? Having more difficulties than previous years? Just asking cuz I am. I use heritage seed stocks and whether it’s the soil, water or air I’m having growing problems. It’s disturbing.
We have a fairly large garden (cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, radishes, peppers of all sort, green beans, peas etc.). We use compost and very high quality dirt (we have truck it in every year). We live in central-north Indiana. We have had an outstanding year so far. In fact she is already to the point of giving stuff away, as there is going to be more than we can consume, can or dehydrate.
Fren, are you using fresh organic compost / black soil? Even if you have existing dirt, it is good to add more nutrients and a fresh growing environment. Have you aerated / tilled? I am not a gardener / farmer but I know a thing or two about the tools needed to grow stuff.
Be careful. There are warnings going around by the Instagram homesteaders. Farmers tend to spray herbicides even on grazing land. It takes 4 years for some of them to disappear from the manure. So some homesteaders are having garden crop damage even though they got manure from nearby farmers, because of the broad spectrum herbicides used on their fields.
I am also having issues with my garden this year, and my soil/compost is from my own livestock and chickens so no pesticides there. I feel like something is off.
IKR??? Some may laugh IDC, but my $$$ is on chemtrails. High Aluminum & other particulates in soils EVERYWHERE. We have A RIGHT to be concerned?!! I’m sick of the naysayers too.
Just some pots on my apartment patio. Weren't doing very well. I read somewhere that something was missing in the potting soil now. Started fertilizing more and wow, the plants are taking off. Counted two dozen blossoms on my tomato plant this morning. Something is attacking my beans though. Can't see any insects so not sure what it is.

I’m new to this place so only have a new compost pile. Next year I can use that 👍🏼

I was reading on some gardening blogs & others were saying they were having problems, mainly why I asked.
