At the request of Christopher, I open a separate subject. I've already put some messages from my testing on the main thread.
It is true that it may be better not to overload.
I use a field that was squatted in vegetable crops there about ten years.
It is a sandy with probably clay below.
This first trial is mitigated because firstly, I started a little late to put the clippings on site in late April. Then a very wet spring.
The tomatoes we started getting sick, luckily the sun finally came and I could save a few feet more or less affected.
The foot of pepper and eggplant excess water is exhausted.
a zucchini feet normally purchased product after a disappointing start, it makes up only now. The second foot planted locally produced full of small zucchini that fail to grow, well not much even if I remove small.
A potato planted too late in fact small
My late planted beans were too thirsty and now vegetate.
With hay moisture remained long but it was very dry the finished dried sand anyway.
I have not seen one below earthworm no trace at the moment.
Some thistles managed to cross but easy to finally remove. Bindweed is not too bad and I let it until it climbs on plants, I occasionally hard to limit but eventually also involved in extracting things from the ground from the sun.
In another place near my home I put a tomato plant in a large pot of soil and another roots in the composter.
These are the feet raised spontaneously in the composter.
The foot in the pot shabby little result and small tomatoes (that are not cherry tomatoes), it has more bugs than I suspect pumping the sap.
The foot in the composter was an attack of caterpillars, even fruits. I picked up a little and let him finally he made some beautiful tomatoes.
Leaves on these feet are thinner, stronger than the one in the ground and also less productive.
I also raspberry bushes, I put the leaves in the fall. He has good product but not more than before without leaves. This summer I added a little hay and BRF.
Finally strawberries planted in potting soil purchased put on the scree mixed indescribable, backfill more or less. On the ground I added pine bark.
They have beautiful leaves but very little fruit. The drought has weakened them quite
I'll see next year.
Here is my little experiment started a little late, I'll try to do better
