Plants are starting to really get going after beginning to bury the root nodels of the vines. I got help setting up the cement mixer and put the following for my vine root pits and Vine/top soil Dressing: (1) Very Large bag of M-Growpotting Soil, 3 OZ. Humic liquid, 3 OZ. Molasses, (5) Lbs Worm Castings, (1) 7 gram packet of Soil Blast, (2) Lbs of Old Coffee Grounds, 1/2 Gal Old brewed Coffee(Liquid), 1/4 cup Calcium Nitrate soluable granuals, 1 OZ "Nutrapathic" Liquid Bacteria Concentrate and 20 Lbs of garden soil. I let it tumble for about 20 minutes. This soil is so rich. I used it on the M. Smith Plant for a test right at 2 weeks ago and the results show very thick and agressive vines, wonderful coloration with no leave curling and the root systems are huge. Roots about a meter from the stump are over .085 in thickness just awesome and the M. Smith plant grew 12 inches long yesterday to this mornin!!! The other (9) Plants are growing good but soon to be Better and Bigger. The WIZ told me to keep it Fun and boy it is Fun watching the Progress here. I'll also show a close up of the bug catchers I made to look like flowers and have already caught a couple cucumber beetles in them.........Yikes already. My Daughter also killed two Squash bugs on the Strawberry Patch......Thee Assault Begins.
