I need some help on this one. So I went out today and checked on a couple small Nepalese plots I had put in a cornfield. This is the first time I have checked on these plants, and I went to get an idea of how much longer there girls needed to go. I get to the plants and they look beautiful! They are about 2-3 weeks from harvest. One problem..
I have two small plots about 20 yards apart, with 4-5 plants per plot. I noticed at the base of each plant there is small pellet like balls all over the ground. When I put my finger on the off white colored balls they would crumble to a find WHITE powder. I had amended the planting holes with a few handfuls of Promix BX, but I did not use any granular top feeds. Apon my first look, thats what it looked like. So either someone has been feeding my plants, and is planning to harvest them before I do, Or there is something in the Promix that has come to the surface of the ground.. I know that it wasnt perlite or vermiculite, and I know neither of these deteriorate so thats not what I had seen. As far as I know, Promix contains Peat Moss, Vermiculite, perlite, lime, and a wetting agent. I have never noticed these small ball lookin things before, and I have never used granular top feeds. Does anyone have an idea what this could be? Am I being paranoid? Or should I bring these beautiful ladies home before someone else beats me to it? I would have taken pictures, but my cam broke, and I havent replaced it yet.
I would really appreciate anything. Thanks
