2nd harvest

Some slugs all the same but very few and only small.
The photos are taken in the top vegetable patch.
The vegetable garden at the bottom, covered for several years, is less affected (may it have found its balance )

At my neighbor's (vegetable garden below) whose cover dates from this year.

What question !!!

What is the use of a store ??? For sale, it seems to me ... Turnover, if you want. Create jobs, they will say!

A silly question ...
I just wanted to say why not to use the soil directly from his garden for sowing. I noticed that mine, made in potting soil, has been stagnating for a fortnight when it rains regularly and the temperatures are at worst a fortnight at night ...
In addition, I have a zucchini plant that has grown alone in the garden and is at least 4 times larger than those made in pots.
No, don't answer, I have the answer in front of me

Yes but what land exactly? Even if you take soil under the hay, you would still need to quickly add nutrients to the soil put in the bucket I think. In my opinion, this is the problem of all above-ground cultivation ... the soil turns into a substrate and the plant sellers must fertilize in one way or another. I really wonder how to do it, my plants are slow to grow and spin (instead of light certainly) instead of getting stronger. Perhaps, try to put a little decomposed hay on the earth of the buckets ?! Or the manure?

Unfortunately, the "compost" are generally culture supports, intended to be fertilized on tidal tables (these large tables at horticulturalists, where one floods with a fertilizing solution).

Most of the land is richer ... Besides the fact that the volume is very low, in a bucket, this leads, without fertilization, to puny, yellowish plants (mine too!).

Have you ever tried to put hay on the soil of your buckets?
