Got my little babies installed yesterday... didn't get pics taken, I was poooped, but I did have 3 'sterilized' smooshed egg shells to put out there with them. Since it was the shells from only 3 eggs, only 4 of the plants got a sprinkling. I can add more as time goes on, right? Just scratch the pulverized egg shells into the surface of the soil around the plants under the mulch and water in?
While I was outside playing yesterday, I decided I should built a trellis for the 4 that are in a row. I sure hope this works! I know the slats are not entirely straight, but I figure that's ok, soon it'll be so covered with plants ya won't be able to see 'em anyhow! :)
