My long gourd got eaten by a jumbo sized slug. Two things for next year, I should invest in some remay/ floating cover so I'm not relying just on overhead irrigation. Second, the problem Im having with no till is, I think some of the amendments need to be in direct contact with the roots. Worms and rain washing the nutrients down into the soil (the no-till way for nutients to get into the soil) are good for some nutrients but I have a suspicion that others need to be physically placed into the soil profile. PS I wonder if soil nitrogen is too high, if solarization gets rid of some of it? Some forms of nitrogen are volatile. If anything, it probably volatizes deeper down into soil.
Hot weather coming up. Finally.
It hasnt been a good year... but theres still a chance of getting something to a scale. And there's always next year...
