Hi neighbor, just after my post I crawled into bed with my new issue of Organic Gardening and they had a real helpful article about the very Question I asked. They recomended mowing or whipping dutch white clover down to keep it under control untill you turn it over in the fall. Then as my luck would have it we got those early heavy rains right after I seeded it in and all the run off is
growing on the lawn
Oh well, the garden looks great tho, and I took some good pictures and had them developed on a cd to show you folks, hope to get to it soon. And the maters are just crazy but so far I am only eating my seven different cherry tomatoes. I was going to ask you if there would be any harm in mixing compost tea with manure tea and if I did, could I still spray it on as a foliar at full strength??Actually I had two pails a brewing, one compost, one manure and the manure tea got tiped over so I threw my cheesecloth bag of manure in with the compost tea. would like to use it as a foliar but worried it will be too strong.
Or maybe its a dangerous mix, just like playing garden scientist sometimes, but have learned it can be a fatal hobby sometimes
