Also to plant this weekend... green onions.
We have a 2X1 section reserved for these lovelies.
(1) Soil prep: add sand and peat moss to the allotted section. Our book only specifies proportions for sandy soil in the carrot section: 2 pts topsoil, 2 pts sand, one pt peat moss. I don't know how deep, but I don't think very.
(2) Plant seeds 1/8-1/4" deep (try for the shallow since we will also sprinkle fertilizer) 2-3" apart both vertically and horizontally. That should give us something like 27 plants. I imagine you could easily position seeds at the top of the prepped soil and cover with the same.
(3) For fertilization, sprinkle 1/4 c. 10-10-10 fertilizer and 1/8 c. triple rock phosphate. Cover the fertilizer with soil (1/2" at most). Mist.

ReplyDeleteDo we have peat moss and all that other stuff we're supposed to add to the soil? For carrots and other things that need half topsoil, half sand, are we just using the remaining dirt, or do we actually have sand to add?
Thanks,

We have a small bag of sand (which I think will be enough) and a decent bag of topsoil. But we need peat moss or another fine organic material. OR, since our topsoil is amended with, I think, compost, we could just do with what we have.
