27 Aug 2023: Edible Garden Update

    The biggest 2 Bayam plants looks like it is ready for harvest. This is after I have harvested last few days ago. I also planted 5 shanghai green bottom scrapes and it seems to be growing well, except 1 at the left corner. Hopefully can grow big enough for me to eat again. 

    The 2nd batch of Bayam plants seems to be growing well but it seems that it can allow 6 seedlings (max) for small long pots as the ones at the corner does not grow big at all. However, these Bayam plants are big enough for harvest so I would likely be eating them soon. Even the seedling in the hanging pot has grown bigger these few days. Must be growing deeper roots to withstand the wind and rain. 

    Both my compost bins got too wet and have been adding shredded egg tray into them to keep them drier. I also saw maggots on the big red compost bin as it seems the bin got too hot and humid for the small maggots. Likely from the fruit flies. Likely I have been able to find paper egg trays so I do not have any shortage issue for the paper egg trays. 

    I have managed to get some potatoes from Food Rescue@Frontier CC and since most of them sprouted, I have been trying to prepare pots to plant a few of them. The rest will be chopped up and added to compost. I have prepared a styrofoam box with two holes at the bottom for this purpose. Now preparing the compost soil or reused soil for it. I would also likely use a big potting pot as previously I added too much salt. Hopefully the plants added can absorb the salt and allow other plants to grow in the soil again.
