🌱 Getting my new veggie garden soil prepped and ready for planting – with a little help from the kids… although I’m not sure “help” is always the right word! 😂
In the glasshouse, we’ve planted tomatoes alongside basil and marigolds, great companion plants that can help deter unwanted insects. 🍅🌼 Out in the garden, we’ve planted broccoli, lettuce and garden peas – some of our family favourites.
Here’s how we gave everything the best possible start:
1.Broadcast lime to help neutralise the soil and unlock nutrients.
2. Broadcast OceanFert – an organic slow-release fertiliser and soil conditioner.
3.Soak the veggie plants in Ocean Grow Seaweed & Fish before planting – it gives plants a great boost to get them started and helps reduce transplant shock.
4.Plant with Ican 100% Vegetable Food for strong, healthy growth.
5.Remove the laterals from the tomatoes as they grow.
6.Give everything a good water in 💧
A bit of dirt, a bit of chaos, plenty of little helpers… and hopefully lots of homegrown veggies to come! 🍅🥦🥬🌱
