Practically nothing other than bracken will grow there. Not even any worms in it so it needs plenty of amelioration. My question is how much of those poultry pellets can I use? I know too much can kill a plant. Am growing only autos this year so the holes I've dug are not huge - bucket sized or so. I think that would depend on how strong the pellets are mate you can get some 6x strength id.. say find some pellet packaging on Google and have a mooch then down it by a third maybe? Quote I'm guessing 3 or 4 handfulls per hole but I've no idea really. I'd probably go with two handfuls... you can always water more in later on if needed too Edited March 6, 2019 by budman320 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaethon Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 @budman320 Here's the post on uploading pictures... And thanks for the comments on the pellets. My instinct is to err on the side of caution 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
