2024 here we come! After a lengthy talk with the folks over at Zerotol, I�ve decided to try a new approach for my patch. I know some don�t agree with this because of all the life and cells it destroys during the process. When you have disease as high as mine and you don�t have another patch to rotate, this process has promise in helping my situation.
It�s a 1 to 100 mix so I did just under 300 gallons of water per 1000 sq ft. I�ll send in a soil test for pathogens this weekend testing only the top 10� of soil to see where i am. Those who don�t test, I have know idea how you figure things out. Without testing, I feel like I�m guessing. I love the science behind growing these things and so glad we have these tools!
The plan is to till as deep as I can in a week or two, drench again, test again and see where we stand. I�ll post reports for anyone interested.
After this,,,,, it�s all about cover crops and rebuilding the structure of my soil through a number of biologicals. Many types of bacillus, compost teas, a couple boxes of worms and anything I can add to bring the life back to my soil.
It�s a year long project that also includes a rebuild to a much cooler greenhouse with 100% more airflow.
I�ll be living through you all in 2023 so kick some butt!!:):)
