Took the cut-up palettes, which we loaded in the car on Saturday, to the Solid Waste Management and dropped them off there along with the plastic coverings.
In addition to skipping the 2nd fertilization of the straw bale beds, we decided to skip the 3rd fertilization which was scheduled for yesterday. Today, we fertilized all the straw bales using 1 cup of Alaska Fish Fertilizer in 2 gallons of water for 4 straw bales. The manufacturer, Lilly Miller, recommends a mixture of 4 tablespoons in 1 gallon of water which translates to 1/2 cup in 2 gallons of water.
When I told Sharon what I done, she told me that we would now need to fertilize more often during the growing season. The manufacturer recommends fertilizing every 3 weeks.
