You have some funny interactions while at the markets. Here's 2 of them...
I was at a stall that was selling chilli plants and looking at their plants they obviously knew what they were doing. Every plant was perfectly healthy.
I asked what their trick is to which they said just a nice organic fertilizer like Seasol and NEVER use compost, they'll get fungus gnats and never be healthy.
"Is that all you use? Seasol, like liquid kelp? There's no way." I said while wiping the weird powdery residue off the leaves.
"Yep, and also"
They then listed 4 synthetic/chemical products they alternate each week. One kelp product, one 20-20-20 synthetic fertilizer and 2 pesticide sprays.😐
The best chat I had and by far the wildest claim I think I've ever heard. "Roundup is actually a plant nutrient if used correctly." 👍 Don't eat that guys food.
Anyway here's a Chilli plant grown with compost and without any Pest management, Seasol or chemicals.
I actually haven't even watered it thanks to this awesome rain we've been having!
Come down to today, Grab some goodies and have some normal chats about real things!
