March was a busy time on the Container Farm. Seedlings to transplant, containers to ready, experiments to begin. The first experiment involves using leaf mulch in place of peat moss in a container potting mix. Four Roma tomatoes, two in regular commercial potting mix, two in leaf mix, one of each set with organic fertilizer, the other with regular. The second tries out a burlap liner in place of the upper bucket in a two bucket SIP (Sub-Irrigated Planter), in an attempt to conserve buckets. The photos links to photo sets.
