Gardening Diary – April 30, 2021

 Sharon fertilized all the plants in Straw bale beds #3-4, 7-8 and sprayed diatomaceous earth on all the plants in straw bale beds #3-4.

Cut the drip hose on straw bale beds #7-8 at the place where the hose leaves straw bale bed#8. Attached a piece of the irrigation hose to the drip hose at the latter cut and placed the irrigation hose in 1 inch PVC pipe of sufficient lengths so that the irrigation hose and the PVC pipe spanned the walkway between straw bale beds #7 and #8. Attached the irrigation hose to the rest of the drip hose which can now make a double loop on straw bale bed #7.
