The milk was to add calcium and stop blossom end rot. A mute point now, as something devoured all of my big beautiful green tomatoes. Itʻs the insects that really do me in, neem oil notwithstanding. I did the scoop the rocks out, line the bed with the rocks and add soil thing but the bugs usually win. Iʻve been fighting the need to get a small greenhouse but it may be time. Iʻve had the best success with small beds 4ʻ off the ground. Lots of bell peppers, basil, parsley and lettuce. Tomatoes are just setting fruit now. And sweet potatoes in the ground all over the yard. Theyʻre my armageddon crop. Thanks for the mustard cabbage idea.
Certainty will be the death of us.
