Well, the blisters are almost gone and the "soil project" moves forward. Wednesday the 19th Ajarn Oot will come over and shepherd me through using an auger (1-1/2" dia.) to bore many holes in the garden area. We will then fill the holes with water which should then flood the sub-straight, thereby softening the soil. At least in theory.
Frankly, the few square meters I've dug up already are the most difficult (translate=hard) soil I've ever worked and I'll take all the help I can get.
More later. Cheers.
Where have the jalapenos gone, Verne?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous; I lost 4 of 7 plants and the 3 remaining plants are recovering. I'll update this site soon...it's been a long slog and never without problems. Cheers.
ReplyDeletegood luck to you arnold..
ReplyDeleteThanks Sri, things seem to be stable at the moment. I haven't posted because there is nothing much to say. Cheers.
ReplyDeletei guess u got a garden with holes all over by now.. so how's it coming ? any progress ?
ReplyDeleteLOL. No, not holes (to easy to step in), but a number of blank spaces. I think I'm going to order more seeds and try again. I just love Habaneros and Jalapenos. Cheers
ReplyDeletenice look, compliments for your organization. Greetings

Thanks Domenico; I just wish I didn't have to plant the whole crop again. I was hoping for ever-bearing plants here in the tropics. Cheers.
