Watered each plant with 2 gallons Biomin Calcium soluition (2Tablespoons per gal) with an additional teaspoon (1/2, maybe) of calcium nitrate dissolved in there to give the plants a much needed boost of nitrogen. I just got back my second soil test of the spring, this one from UMass, and my Nitrogen level was still only 8 ppm after adding my fertilizers last month. Hmmmm. Maybe all those decaying leaves (mostly gone now, but . . .) are still eating up my nitrogen. Weird, I really thought that adding CaNO3 and the granular fertilizers would bring me up to at least 20 or 30 ppm Nitrogen, so I guess I'll have to just keep hitting the plants with fish fertilizer and calcium nitrate. I'll just go by the color of the leaves like everybody says to do, although I'm no expert there. At this point the 983.5 Isom and 937.5 Isom are both ahead of the 1041.5 and the 1689. All of my experimental plants were put in the patch on Wednesday and are in Walls-o-water at this point.
