  1. My first Spring seeds have popped. I have put them in polystyrene cups filled with mountain soil. When they are ready, they will go into the ground in the garden, which is on the mountainside. I am growing Transkei landrace exclusively this season. The journey begins now. Does anyone know where I can get some alfalfa pellets?

      Happy growing and best of luck with the wheather. Really curious how your landrace will turn out. Will you start a log too?

      Not sure about the alfalfa pellets but you can get alfalfa/lucerne mulch and meal from jamie's garden shop.

      Thanks! I've decided to just stick with the mountain soil and I won't add the alfalfa because it is dark and loamy already. I will inoculate with forest harvested mycorrhizae and then feed with a homemade experimental super juice, alternating with castings/ chicken manure solution. The super juice will be made from kelp juice and Lactobacillus made from rice water, whey and molasses. I'm sure that will be sufficient and it shouldn't cost me a thing. Water is from a borehole. I can see cotyledons peaking from pips, so I'm getting excited, like a broody parent.

      Are you able to tell me how to get a journal started? I have been looking for links and not finding the right thing for this.

      Awesome, I'm curious how your soil mix turns out. I've mixed my own soil for this outdoor season too.

      A grow diary would be nice. Just follow the link below and click on "new topic" and you'll open a 'ew thread/grow diary.
