Planting the 'Big & Orange' Possert.
Ground temps are low and the forcast isnt great. Growth will be slow... But today was a good day.
Dads guess (me) was that ten pounds of fertilizer would be a good start. We might get more scientific later but for now we put on 4 lbs bone meal 1 lb epsom salt about 5 lbs of dolomite, 1.5 lbs standard miracle grow, maybe a half pound of blood meal and around 2 lbs of a balanced organic type fertilizer. Also maybe four handfuls of calcium nitrate. The soil is so poor, this might be half of whats really needed but its a start. Also added a barrel of compost. Just trying to establish some baseline fertility. Maybe we can fine tune it with fertigation, or the vine burying mix.
