Organic Fertilization Of Vegetable Plants In My Garden

about 1 month ago

Giving love to the plants in my garden.

Days with heavy rain still come to my area. However, there are indeed some days that do not rain. Then, the next day it rains so as I said in the previous blog, I have to be smart in finding the right time to do maintenance for the plants in my garden.

This is a picture of my garden yesterday after it rained. The water is still stagnant. There are two raised beds. The 2 raised beds, one contains a type of curly mustard greens, and the other is a type of big mustard greens that are larger than general mustard greens. I have talked about this type of large mustard greens before on my blog. It turns out that this mustard green is really bigger than the usual mustard greens. These mustard greens will also be ready to be harvested in a few days and I am very excited about it. Waiting for my next blog about harvesting these mustard greens.

Well, then the great thing is, after it rains, the day will be very hot and the water that had been stagnant will dry up.

So, today I took advantage of the day that was not raining to fertilize my plants. Actually, today is a few days past my fertilization schedule. I kept getting anxious when it rained yesterday because I had missed a few days of fertilizing. I hope my plants are okay.

This afternoon, I decided to take the time to fertilize some vegetable plants that were due to be fertilized. I will also fertilize the pakcoy plants, my chili plants that have entered the age of 2 weeks after being transplanted.

In this organic fertilization, I used compost and also manure. Because the manure that I got by buying online is still in pure powder form and does not have any mixture, so, I mixed the manure with compost, this will certainly also reduce costs, because the manure itself, especially goat manure, is currently expensive. So, by mixing the manure with compost it will save money.

I fertilize my chili plants first. I plant chili plants using polybags. You can see in front of my chili plants there are also tomato plants that have borne fruit abundantly but this time I did not fertilize the tomatoes, because I had fertilized the tomatoes before. So, this afternoon I will focus on fertilizing my chili plants.

These chili plants are 2 weeks old after being moved. They look fertile with their new branches. After I applied the top cutting shortly after they were transplanted previously.

Indeed, during the rainy season like this, I have many challenges in planting chilies. Because, later there will be a lot of risk of fungus in the planting medium which will cause these chilies to not grow optimally.

Later, at another time I will also give egg shell powder to the chili planting medium to reduce the acidity in the planting medium caused by rainwater.

Continued. After fertilizing the chili plants, I fertilized the pakcoy pakcoy plants.

Look, these pakcoy plants are already looking bigger even though they are only 2 weeks old after being transplanted. Indeed, I was a little late in giving fertilizer. But, better late than never, right?

I hope that the pakcoy plants can be bigger when the harvest comes.

Hope you have a beautiful day there. Although, right now your garden may not be able to be used for gardening due to the season. Until next!
