LanTerra Update > The nice weather continues. A high of 70*f takes me back out to the patch today to begin final preparations for the seedlings to come in the next few weeks. Pictured is the 1134 On the scale at Pumpkinville.

On tap today is starting the first brew of compost tea with worm castings and a soil drench of molasses to the newly prepared planting areas.

I also need to start a new compost pile. I have about twenty bags of leaves and yard clippings that will make a good pile start. I plan to add Humic acid and some kelp meal to the pile as well.

Seed starting begins this morning. I set out to soak 12 or so 227 Landry 04 which I intend to use as a sort of cover crop that is pre-inoculated. I have also started a dozen or so 194 hunt watermelons. All seeds are in a bath of warm water with worm castings, humic acid, kelp meal & jump start a myco product I have been using for seed starting.
