through your fingers while clay will clump into a ball. Chickweed likes good garden soil. Horsetail likes acid clay soil with poor drainage. Morning glory, mosses and liverworts like hardpan and subsoil. Wild peas and vetch grow in sandy soils.
This year we have set aside two rooms - one for exploring the home garden process and one for fiber arts. The home garden room will have 4 master gardeners on hand to answer your questions. Take a peak at the worm farm and stroll outside to our farmers market. See how to bring your bounty from the garden to your dinner table.
Recently I was asked what fertilizer should be used on strawberries. We have never used a fertilizer on our strawberries. They are wonderful, plentiful and they taste fantastic. We do compost them but they don’t need anything else. “What ain’t broke don’t need no fix’en.” I moved to the Island 4 years ago from the Lower Mainland where I had a small city lot but grew 4 beautiful rhododendrons and 3 prolific rose plants. In the 26 plus years that I had that garden I never fertilized, pruned or even composted those plants. I have to admit it was not so much that I was environmentally conscious; I was just too busy raising children and working to do much in the garden. But, the garden did exceptionally well. Naturally I was perplexed when I retired to the Island and things just did not grow the same. I began checking out the soil, which, where I live, is sand and rock. I have learned that that is the norm for many areas of the Island although some have complained about hard clay. So, what to do?
FEED THE SOIL NOT THE PLANTS Most of us have become aware of the damage we could do to our water, to our environment and to the plants that we grow in our gardens by using herbicides or pesticides. However, there are a lot of us who don’t think twice about adding chemical fertilizers to our lawns and gardens. Yet, these too can have a negative effect on our water and the plants we grow. I read recently that we should feed the soil, not the plants for the healthiest plants. Moreover, we should use nutrients from natural sources. Plants deplete the soil of nutrients so it makes sense that we replace those nutrients in the soil. Plants like people will suffer from disease when malnourished. And when in this weakened disease state, bad insects are attracted. Healthy roots need to be developed. A well-rooted plant evades pests, diseases, drought, wind, hail, and winter rains.
There are basically four steps to making your soil healthy. 1. add compost. There is nothing better for sand, clay, or loam. Learn about compost teas, which will add even more nutrients. 2, mulch. 3 use seaweed. Add it to your compost and/or use it as a mulch. Don’t worry about the salt. Some leave it out to be rain cleaned for a few weeks, yet I have friends who say, “Hogwash! I never bother.” 4. use animal manure or green manure. Make sure your animal manure has aged 120 days to a year. Know the source since you do not want to feed your soil too many weeds or chemicals.
Chemical fertilizers do not restore soil health and fertility while they do destroy the physical and biological properties of soil. Sometimes the chemicals combine with other minerals and become something that plants cannot use. Often we end up with high concentrations of Nitrogen, Phospherous or Potassium that are not needed by plants. Watch how some plants will grow fast with weak and watery tissue and attract aphids! We need to pay attention to the soil dwelling insects and organisms that assist in the breakdown and decomposition of decaying plant material. All the tiny creatures in the soil, the dew, rain, and oxygen all interrelate.
If you have a large vegetable area look into planting fall rye, winter peas, fava beans or winter barley or wheat. In the spring turn it under and you have just given your soil green manure. If you do need to amend your soil with additional nutrients ask your local master gardener for a list of Organic Fertilizer Recipes. These steps should help you to feed your soil with healthy nutrients. –Astrid Davidson, MG in Training
Get to know your soil. Have it tested professionally or use a small kit from a local nursery to find out what your soil needs. Sometimes you can tell without doing any tests. Healthy soil will crumble when you ball it in your palm. Sandy soil will sift
