I came to the conclusion that my issues all stem from the fact that I was doing two things wrong with my watering:
1. Too much (duh)
2. Too fast! I was using a watering can and it is talked about time and time again to use a hand sprayer to ensure even distribution and slow release.
It is very challenging with a no till method because I’m impatient and I need to remember that I’m nurturing the living soil, not the plant and this method is far different from my outdoor and hydroponic experience.
This weeks schedule looked like this:
12/27: Water and 1/4cup of kashi per plant top dressed
12/28: Nothing
12/29: Nothing
12/30: Water
12/31: Essential Oil foliar spray (ginger, eucalyptus, peppermint, bronners soap)
1/1: Nothing
1/2: Water/Aloe
