Transplanted the 4 PT-sprouted piracicabas into the ground today. Maybe risky as they're at the same spot as 4 of the removed ones, so chance of caterpillar in ground and re-emerging? But it's the only spot I have open, so I'll give it a go. Amended the soil as below. Placed the row cover from LV over hoops, BUT I don't like this stuff because it also has sections of small "holes" where if a butterfly landed just so, the egg would definitely go through the cover. So I'll ask around and see if I can find a better one.
Mixed these into the ground today at the 4 spots:
1 Tbsp alfalfa
2 Tbsps kelp meal
2 Tbsps MRP
And set the seeds into vermiculite to make sure they don't get stuck underground.
