Build a Fishstick

[unclefishstick]

alrighty,got the 4x4 bed built and in place and filled and 9 plants in and top dressed with build a flower and clover seed sown...16 bags (16 cubic feet) was exactly enough...as far as doing this one bed at a time as space becomes available,and funds are available,getting bags of fresh 3.0 is the way to go...a real time saver,and a back saver...so the bed is in a 4x4 low tide tray on a plywood and 2x4 platform with heavy duty casters....and i can move it which is good...getting the plants out of the pots was the hardest part,they are well rooted...

watered in with trinity and microbe lift...worms have shipped!

9 black cherry ice cream...next step is to add the trellis...

we wormin'! got 100 red wigglers for the 3x3 and 250 for the 4x4 today...

so all three beds,2x4,3x3,and 4x4 are wormin',clover seed sewn,and barley mulch applied. planning on picking up the next 4x4 fabric bed next week,along with 16 more bags of 3.0,and building 2 more 4x4 plywood platforms with heavy duty casters...

as noted,the plan is to have three 4x4 beds and four 20 gallon pots in the main flower room.

another bed built,another week and a space will open for it,so another 16 bags of 3.0 soon...

and got the trellis screen installed last night on the other 4x4

Do the worms ever try to get out, or are they content?

they seem to be doing their wormy thing,i dug into random spots in all three beds and there they were

a little update on the 3x3 and 2x4 beds...

my initial wetting of the soil in the 3x3 was way too much but it's finally dried down and the plants seem much happier,as noted so do the wormies...i think i'll plug one more plant into the middle...also put up some trellis net...this bed is filled with re-amended rootballs that were at least half pro-mix hp,done in my "a little of everything" mix....two kinds of compost,worm castings,dolomite lime,oyster shell flour,gypsum,basalt rock dust,big 6 micros + humates,agsil16 potassium silicate,bio-fish,craft blend and neem seed meal....phew!

i think that's all
edit,nope,forgot pumice and rice hulls!


3 gmo and a stoney's kush

onto the 2x4 bed...
yikes! overplanted!
yeah,10 plants probably too much,did some pruning,more tomorrow...and trellis installed..

this bed is filled with 100% once used 3.0,more lightly amended than the 3x3,same stuff though...plants are doing great
