BROAD BEAN UPDATE

SAMPHIRE CUTTINGS

This is a shot of my samphire bed.

As well as to direct planting with seeds I decided to try cuttings.

I chose the market instead of Waitrose because the market samphire was loose and the other was prepackaged in nitrogen.

Sponges,45* scalpel cut, cut rooting powder. About 50% success rate.

They are in a F/D media bed.

I have just returned from a weeks  holiday and the fungal growth is from slug pellets ( Fish safe, Iron based) I scattered before leaving.

Unsure. Any advice welcome.

I presoaked the sponges in 1PPT saline and my system at the moment is running at about the same level.

NET POTS

On holiday in Spain I saw a hydroponics shop.
Four inch net pots .22E
Much cheaper than in the UK.Very light so no big problem with weight in the plane.
