Acid or Alkaline? What ph means in gardenspeak. by Marion Owen
This article takes a look at pH and what it means from a practical gardening standpoint.
Yay! I finally did had a soil test done and got suggestions for improving my soil, but now am having a hard time finding the products they recommended. I would like to be able to put some of these slow-release products such as cottonseed meal, soybean meal, potassium sulfate and sul-po-mag on now, but cannot find them at Agway or Blue sel except the cottonseed meal in small packages. Online they are available in larger quantities but the shipping is as much as the product. Can I find these things somewhere in town, or do I have to wait for a spring Fedco order? Thanks for any advice!
Did you ask Blue Seal or Agway if they could special order for you? Maybe that would be an option. Other than ordering on-line, I don’t know where else you could go. Perhaps several gardeners can go in on an order? We can talk at the next meeting.
