The potatoes have been harvested from one of the big grow bag trial that we repeated this year, and the results are better than last year, but not as good as I had hoped. The plants that were regularly fed with a soluble form of nitrogen did a lot bette, and I think this solubility of nitrogen and other nutrients might be why the other plants struggled.
0:00 Second year of large trial
0:58 Slight change to trial
2:34 Only slightly better results
4:16 Soluble feeding worked better
5:29 New batch of compost
7:45 Nitrogen just isn’t available
9:30 Is this compost useful?
11:35 Plans for next year
12:58 Enjoying these trials
Help me develop these gardens and make more videos through regular contributions patreon.com/redgardens
