LUI Day 46
LUI Day 46
we checked the LUI girls for moisture . . . no watering was needed . . . we did take the time to “cultivate” the soil surface on our LUI’s . . . smoothing the soil surface with our fingers and pushing loose soil into the inevitable “crack” where the plastic 3 gallon container and the soil meet . . . as soil dries it contracts some so filling in around the edge like this is a regular thing . . . the soil surface “cultivation” (cultivating means smoothing the soil surface with our fingers and pushing loose soil around and into the inevitable “crack” where the plastic 3 gallon planter and the soil edge meet . . . as soil dries it contracts . . . with some soil mixes the soil surface can develop a hard crust . . . smoothing the soil surface by hand helps to avoid cracks and depressions where water might pool or run-off . . . and smoothing off elevated areas that might shed water helps to ensure that plants get an even watering) is something we try to do every few waterings . . . it helps the entier planter full of soil to absorb moisture (and nutrients) more evenly . . . if soil settling occurs we’ll normally “top dress” with composted/remixed soil or mushroom compost . . . we didn’t rotate the actual containers but instead rotated the individual plants . . . turning each one between 90 and 180 degrees to encourage even growth from all the LUI girls . . . the amount we turned each plant was dependent on our eye and experience with plants . . . normally we are growing with the entire 2′x3′ container full of soil and don’t have the luxury of turning individual plants . . . caring for our LUIs and tending to the rest of our garden for the evening took less time than the Super Bowl awards presentation . . .
