today in WWYD:
built a strawberry planter for the parents 2-3 weeks ago for the alpines i gave them, mixed up some soil and FORGOT TO LIME ffs. its a peat/perlite/vermiculite mix so its prolly a lil too acidic for balanced nute uptake, peats supposed to be ~4.5 ph standalone? first thought is take out all the strawberries, mix lime into soil and re-plant. p.obvious stuff
these plants were already stressed with root rot before being transplanted out of native soil and root-pruned. ironically they look better than before the move, but theres some clear micro-nute problem that needs fixing. when choosing between disturbing plants multiple times in a short period AND working with wet vermiculite, or sitting in low ph for another couple weeks, WWYD
reminder these are delicious strawberries we're talking about, i grant yall the ability to get photo-dumped
