The ph test today was at a nice 5.75 which is just where I'd like it to be. Just happy I found this new ph down, it's SO much more stable.
Guess this ole gal can learn new tricks after all. LOL
A few things are just struggling to even sprout.Not sure why they aren't. It could be that medium we are using instead of soil has a center hole for inserting a cutting into them. I basically used that hole to drop the seed into and maybe that's just too deep for some. I can try to make a shallow slice in them for things that like to shallower and place seed in that slot.
Great news, now it will be interesting to see if it will stay down that low for another week. For sure planting any seed too deep will keep them from growing or at least slow down the time it takes to sprout. Bigger seed can be planted deeper but little seed need to be as shallow as 1/4". With seed like carrots I will just sprinkle them on the surface then lightly cover them with dirt.
