My desert rose recently got a new bloom in, but Iâm not sure when I should do any repotting, does anyone have any recommendations?
John Ehrling I usually only repot when I have serious problems. Like water logging or the roots are expanding too much. How small is your pot?
Lenny S Itâs probably around 7 inches wide, but Iâve noticed that itâs not really growing as much as I think it could, and some of the bloom buds have started to get dry, Iâm worried something else is going on since Iâm watering it decently whenever itâs needed
Kimberly K Bontrager Still building more beds just completed the one on the right now working on the same size one for the left. It is a tedious job to dig out and remove the thick rope like roots of bermuda grass many of these roots look like fibrous plastic and wire like roothairs
Kimberly K Bontrager Soil layered with compost, wood branches and logs, biochar, shredded junkmail, and cardboard cardboard, grassclippings and well rotted straw that is very old from our old barn that hasn't been used for a good 30 years the soil is fairly high on the bricks and I still need to apply more mulch on top.
John Ehrling Wow. Looks great. Moving all those cinderblocks has to be exhausting!
Kimberly K Bontrager I had the most problems with the first one. I never thought it would be so hard to get them level but leveling the very uneven ground where the first bed not next to the house is has been the most difficult. The end goal is to eventually get all the beds I want set up at one block high then as I add compost and mulch continue to increase the volume of soil in each bed till I can add a second layer of blocks and finally possibly a 3rd. I wish to have an easy to manage sustem set up in such a way that I can garden as long as possible in the comming years. I would love to have beds end up being easy access for an older person to manage. I turn 60 this year and it is a move it or lose it point where your body starts losing strength every year you do not fight to keep it. I want to make my garden as easy to manage for an old person as possible in hopes of being able to easily garden into my 80S or 90's if I can.
A. E. Way to go Kimberly.
My garden is winding down
John Ehrling Any pics you can share? What about photos from earlier in the year?
