Last night's chance of rain motivated me into a lot of gardening
tasks. The past week I've been gathering up supplies needed that
were not on hand to complete these intentions. As the clouds
darkened the skies as predicted. Remember, 80% chance!
Imagining what could benefit from a nice sip of rain water.
But why stop there when we can add some of today's find
of Kelp liquid fertilizer. Yup, you heard it here. Hey, not only
can humans benefit from Kelp's nutrients. Why not make it
available to our plants.
If that wasn't enough, an expected package of rock dust, alleged
pulverized overburden left overs from a once active Glacier. This
product was ground down to the consistency of ground cinnamon.
Making it, in time more readily available and complimenting our
potted medium's bio mass.
Throw in a bag of composted material other than from my own.
We are adding more diversity of nutrients that normally would
be found locally. My own compost is in progress and got shot of
this trifecta of ingredients, which may be better at digesting these
foreign ingredients, as it morphs into some black gold.
An hour in my chair underneath my carport dividing pots of orchids,
ferns and repotting my Cacoa tree. The need to share this new bounty
of new ingredients is another motivating factor to all of the potted plants
that have managed to survive this solitary confinement existence.
A sip of Kelp a bite of compost. The only missing thing is, some rain.
Well the rain never came but what transpired in this time frame was
better than what could have fell out of the sky.
If only plants could talk.
