Index of Subjects To: David and all From: John Sollows date: Sept. 13/08 Our garden, down Yarmouth way, was fertilized with mink compost (Great stuff! Spectacle Lake!) for the second year in a row. Our broccoli plants are enormous, but with late ansd so far very small heads. First carrot crop (planted end of May) is normal, but those planted nearly amonth later have respectable heads but wee roots. Don't know to what I can attribute these pheniomena, which were not present in last year's equally well-fertilized garden. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David & Alison Webster" <dwebster@glinx.com> To: <NatureNS@chebucto.ns.ca> Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 7:45 PM Subject: [NatureNS] Nitrogen mineralization > Dear All, Sept 13, 2008 > I applied only trace amounts of nitrogen fertilizer to the garden this > year, beside the carrot and beet seedlings so they could outgrow > flea-beetle feeding, but everything has the appearence of high nitrogen so > I think there has been an unusually high release of nitrogen by > mineralization this summer. > > I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this or if it has something > to do with the state of my garden. > > Yt, DW, Kentville > >
