Earlier this year Plate 2 Plate compost was used by Lemon Balm to revamped the flower bed outside Waitrose in Meanwood, Leeds.
We went back to see how they are doing....
Our original blog in April stated that our compost would only be used on one tree so we could compare how it performed to the others. However, there are so many variables that affect plant growth Lemon Balm decided to use it on all three trees instead!
We're please to say that they are ALL doing great and it looks like there will be a healthy crop this season.
Our course compost was used as it retains the larger pieces of woodchip (12mm x 12mm) which will help with drainage and the growth of mycorrhizal fungi, which the trees need to get difficult to reach nutrients from the soil.
Feedback from our customers so far suggests that our course compost works really well on fruit trees, roses and pok choy.
It’s fascinating to see the progress of these tree trials; there’s something so rewarding about watching a long-term project finally take root and grow. I went through a bit of a growth phase myself recently when I was trying to branch out into a new industry, and I ended up looking for Top-Rated Resume Writing Services USA to help me cultivate a better professional image. Just like with these trees, sometimes you just need the right environment and a little expert care to really see things start to flourish!
I liked reading about your tree trials and how you compared different soil mixes to see what really works in the long run. It reminded me of a school project where I tracked plant growth and actually used Online Lab Report Writer that time to help turn my messy notes into a proper report. Seeing your careful photos and follow up results shows how patient testing can teach more than a quick guess in the garden. your post makes me smile.
