Today is transplanting day. 8 plants going in. Lots of biologicals are already drenched into the soil. A dusting of Azos, RootShield and Mycorrhizal inoculants are buried daily under the growing vines all season. I add the Starter Packs only on the day of planting. Shown is the 2551 Ford... 7 more to go.
